Detailed Solution

It is not possible to predict the occurrence of an earthquake and its location. It can happen anytime all over the world. The tectonic plates of the earth are always in continuous motion. Tremors are nothing but the slight movement of the earth, they can be caused due to a volcano also. As the human body is a conductor of electricity, bathing outdoors should be avoided during thunderstorms. Thus, (i), (ii), (iii) and (v) are correct.
