The answer is I. An ellipsis indicates the ommissionof a word or words.

Ellipsis is a literay device and a grammatical term. It's used to ommit some parts of a sentence or events in a narrative. Ellipsis dots indicate that parts of a word or sentence have been ommited, sometimes to save time, or as a stylistic element. The readers have a chace to fill the gaps. Another point is that it allows authors to advance the story.
