B

C

D

Both Statement I and Statement II are True

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the textbook:

  • Statement I is True: The text explicitly states that the presence or absence of the hymen is not a reliable indicator of virginity or sexual experience .
  • Statement II is False: While the hymen is often torn during the first coitus, it can also be broken by a sudden fall or jolt, insertion of a vaginal tampon, or active participation in sports like horseback riding and cycling. Furthermore, in some women, the hymen persists even after coitus . Therefore, saying it is torn during the first coitus only is incorrect.
