The true statements about these triangles are: B. I and II.

How to identify the true statements?

Based on the diagram (see attachment), we can logically deduce the following points in accordance with circle theorem:

  • The tangents drawn from a point out side the circle are the same (equal).
  • The perpendicular bisectors of triangle ABC would have an intersection at the same point (center D) as those of triangle ABE.
  • The distance from point C to point D is the same as the distance from point D to point E i.e CD = DE since both are radii of the circle.

In conclusion, we can logically deduce that the true statements about these triangles are I and II only.
