Unpacking a product-form independence hypothesis

Suppose E, F and G are 3 events such that P(E∩F∩G)=P(E)⋅P(F)⋅P(G)P(E\cap F\cap G)=P(E)\cdot P(F)\cdot P(G) and P(E∩F∩G)=P(E)⋅P(F∩G)P(E\cap F\cap G)=P(E)\cdot P(F\cap G). Consider the statements: (I) F and G are independent events. (II) E and FC∪GCF^C\cup G^C are independent events. (III) ECE^C and F∩GF\cap G are independent events. (IV) E, F and G are mutually independent events.
