Answer

Both Statement I and Statement II are true.

Explanation

A chord is a line segment joining any two points of a circle. So, Statement II is true.

The longest possible chord of a circle is its diameter, whose length is 2r (twice the radius). The length l of any chord cannot be negative and cannot exceed the diameter, so it must satisfy 0 ≤ l ≤ 2r. So, Statement I is also true.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
