00 on finite sets, ∞\infty on infinite ones: finitely but not countably additive

Let Ω\Omega be a countably infinite set and let F consist of all subsets of Ω\Omega. Define μ(A)=0\mu(A)=0 if A is finite, ∞\infty if A is infinite. Which of the following statements are true? (i) μ\mu is finitely additive; (ii) μ\mu is countably additive; (iii) {An}\{A_n\} is an ↑\uparrow sequence of sets with μ(An)=0\mu(A_n)=0 ∀n\forall n, but μ(Ω)=∞\mu(\Omega)=\infty.
