Rao–Blackwell theorem

Let V=V(x1,x2,…,xn)V=V(x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n) be an unbiased estimator of γ(θ)\gamma(\theta) and TT be a sufficient statistic for γ(θ)\gamma(\theta). Define Φ(t)=E[V∣T=t]\Phi(t)=\mathbb{E}[V\mid T=t]. Which of the following statements is/are correct?

I. Φ(t)\Phi(t) is an unbiased estimator of γ(θ)\gamma(\theta).

II. The variance of Φ(t)\Phi(t) is less than or equal to variance of VV.

III. Φ(t)\Phi(t) is a function of sufficient statistic which is dependent on θ\theta.
