Explanation
Test set (i) is the best option as it tests the boundary condition of a salary of less than €20,000 and being married, with a varying number of children including the boundary value of three children. This test set covers the minimum and maximum values for the salary and the number of children, as well as the nominal values. The other test sets do not test the boundary value of the salary or the number of children fully, as they either omit or repeat some values.
