Answer

Both Statement I and Statement II are true.

Explanation

A sector of a circle is the part of the circular region enclosed by an arc of the circle and its two bounding radii. A segment of a circle is the part of the circular region cut off by a chord, and it is bounded by the chord and an arc. So, in both a sector and a segment, an arc is an essential (common) component. Statement I is true.

A chord is a line segment joining any two points of a circle. When a chord passes through the centre of the circle, it becomes the longest chord — called the diameter — and its length is equal to 2 × radius. So, Statement II is also true.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
