I answered this one yesterday.

If you are sponsoring your wife, she is first the immigrant, and is only counted as an immigrant not your wife.

You would count your wife as your wife if she had green card or had naturalized, and then your were sponsoring an other immigrant like a son, daughter, mother father ect..

See where it says [Persons NOT sponsored in this affidavit:] Since you are sponsoring her she is counted on "a" and not "c"

If the children are also immigrating they get counted on "a" and not "d"

Only count dependents on "c" through "g" if they are already either permanent residents or citizens of the USA.
