Correct Answer: Option A — i, iv, and v only
Analysis of the Statements

i. Correct: Starred Questions are distinguished by an asterisk. The Minister concerned is required to give an oral answer on the floor of the House.

ii. Incorrect: Since the answer is oral, it is not primarily a written-form procedure (though the text is later recorded in the official proceedings).

iii. Incorrect: Unstarred Questions do not receive oral replies.

iv. Correct: For Unstarred Questions, a written reply is laid on the table of the House by the Minister. These are typically used for gathering data or detailed information that doesn't require immediate floor discussion.

v. Correct: Because Starred Questions are answered orally, they allow for supplementary questions. With the permission of the Chair, members can ask follow-up questions to probe the Minister's response further.

Comparison Table: 
Why this distinction matters
The purpose of a Starred Question is to hold the government accountable in real-time. The ability to ask supplementary questions (Statement v) is the most powerful tool during Question Hour, as it prevents ministers from giving vague or evasive "pre-written" answers without being challenged.
