(N/A) $(i) - \text{True}, (ii) - \text{False}, (iii) - \text{False}, (iv) - \text{False}$.
$(i)$ Crystallisation is a standard method for the purification of solid organic compounds.
$(ii)$ Crystallisation is used for solids,while distillation is used for liquids. The statement is false because it incorrectly claims distillation purifies solids.
$(iii)$ Sublimation is used to purify solids that sublime on heating,not liquids.
$(iv)$ Ammonium chloride $(NH_4Cl)$ is a sublimable solid,while sodium chloride $(NaCl)$ is not. Therefore,sublimation is used to separate this mixture,not distillation.
