Statistical Inference — unbiasedness of an indicator-based binomial estimator

Let x1,x2,x3,…,xmx_1, x_2, x_3, …, x_m denote a random sample from a binomial B(n,p)B(n, p) distribution. Define a statistic u={12n,if x1+x2=1 0,otherwiseu = \begin{cases}\frac{1}{2n}, & \text{if } x_1 + x_2 = 1 \ 0, & \text{otherwise}\end{cases}. Which of the following statements is/are correct? I. uu is an unbiased estimator of p(1−p)n\frac{p(1-p)}{n}. II. uu is a uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator of pp. III. ∑i=1mxi\sum_{i=1}^{m}x_i is a complete sufficient statistic for pp. Select the answer using the code given below.
