The correct answer is: **[I], [II] and [III]**.

All three statements describe characteristics of a firm:

- **[I]** is true because a firm indeed represents a unit that employs factors of production to produce goods and services.
- **[II]** is true as firms can take different forms (e.g., sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations).
- **[III]** is also true because firms largely determine how goods and services are produced, which includes decisions about production techniques, labor, and other factors.

Thus, all statements are characteristic of a firm.
