0 < r < 1 < s < 2

I. As 0 < r < s, r/s < 1

II. Say r = 0.6 and s = 1.9 => rs = 1.14 > 1

III. Say r = 0.6 and s = 1.9 => (s - r) = 1.3 > 1

The correct answer is A.

Try to disprove the answer choices.

II. rs < 1.
If r = 2/3 and s = 3/2, rs = 2/3 * 3/2 = 1.
Eliminate any answer choice that includes II.
Eliminate B and D.

III. s-r < 1.
If s = 3/2 and r = 1/2, s-r = 3/2 - 1/2 = 1.
Eliminate any answer choice that includes III.
Eliminate C and E.

The correct answer is A.
