(iii) FOSS
(iv) GNU
Codes :

A.(i), (iii) and (iv) are correct.
B.(i), (ii) and (iii) are correct.
C.(ii) and (iii) are correct.

Creative Commons and DOAJ are the items related to open access initiatives, option (D), that is (i) and (ii). Creative Commons gives licences that let authors share their work, and the Directory of Open Access Journals lists open access journals. FOSS (iii) and GNU (iv) concern free and open source software and not open access to scholarly content, so options (A), (B) and (C) are incorrect. The test of an open access initiative is whether it makes scholarly content free to read and reuse, which Creative Commons licences and the DOAJ directory both do.
