Solution

The correct option is B Only statement II and III are correct.

Let's go through the statements one by one.

Statement I:

We know that 2 is a prime number, but it is an even number.

Hence, this statement is wrong.

Statement II:

Statement I can be extended to:- 2 is the only even prime number.

All other even numbers have factors other than 1 and itself.

Statement II is correct.

Statement III:
