Electric flux over a surface in an electric field

Given below are two statements : Statement I : An electric dipole is placed at the centre of a hollow sphere. The flux of electric field through the sphere is zero but the electric field is not zero anywhere in the sphere. Statement II : If R is the radius of a solid metallic sphere and Q be the total charge on it. The electric field at any point on the spherical surface of radius r (lt R) is zero but the electric flux passing through this closed spherical surface of radius r is not zero. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Electric flux in an electric field vecE through area vector vec(ds) is given by
