Answer:

  none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the following:

  p(129) = 1·2·9 = 18

  p(10·129) = p(1290) = 1·2·9·0 = 0 . . . . . statement I is not true

  p(129+1) = p(130) = 1·3·0 = 0 . . . . . . . . . statement II is not true

  p(2·129) = p(258) = 2·5·8 = 80 . . . . . . . statement III is not true

None of the offered statements must be true.

_____

Statement I must be true if p(n) is the product of the non-zero digits of n.
