Answer

Statement I: The empty set has 0 elements (finite) and a singleton set has 1 element (finite). However, the set of all prime numbers is {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, ……}, which is an infinite set. So, Statement I is false.

Statement II: The cardinal number of a finite set is the number of different elements in the set, which is always 0 or a positive integer i.e. it is always non-negative. So, Statement II is true.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
