Match the column-$I$ with column-$II$.

column-$I$ $(\text{Property})$ column-$II$ $(\text{Metal})$

$i$. An element which can show $+8$ oxidation state $a$. $Mn$

$ii$. $3d$ series element that can show upto $+7$ oxidation state $b$. $Cr$

$iii$. $3d$ series element with highest melting point $c$. $Os$
