Answer

Statement I: Each of 5, 7, 11, 13 and 17 has exactly two factors (1 and itself). So they are all prime numbers.

∴ Statement I is true.

Statement II: The set of natural numbers is {1, 2, 3, …}, so the smallest natural number is 1.

∴ Statement II is true.

Both statements are true.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
