i) This is saying that A is a subset of C, or the successful applicants is a subset of the male freshman students.

ii) This is saying that C is a subset of A, or the male freshman students are a subset of the successful applicants.

iii) This is saying that A is a subset of B, or the successful applicants is a subset of the female freshman students.

The only correct choice is ii) only, since the applicants include the male and female freshmen students.

The answer is A.
