Answer

Statement I is true. The given figure (combination of an arrowhead-like shape on top of a semicircular shape) has exactly one line of symmetry — the vertical line passing through its centre.

Statement II is false. A semicircle has one line of symmetry (the perpendicular bisector of its diameter), but an arrowhead also has only one line of symmetry (its diagonal), not 2.

Hence, Option 1 is the correct option.
