  3. C

  4. D
    (B), (C) and (D) only

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's assess the factual accuracy of each statement:(A) is correct: A complete set of financial statements includes the Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Statement, and Cash Flow Statement.(B) is correct: Vertical analysis studies the relationship of items within a single financial period. Common-size statements (which convert items into percentages of a common base line item) and standard financial ratios are core parts of vertical analysis.(C) is correct: The primary purpose of interpreting financial metrics is to assist management and investors in informed decision-making.(D) is incorrect: Comparative statements contrast metrics across multiple financial years, which makes them tools for horizontal analysis (trend analysis), not vertical analysis.Hence, only statements (A), (B), and (C) are correct.
