`S_(1)` at any point inside the sphere, electric intensity is zero.
`S_(2)` at any point inside the sphere, the electrostatic potential is 100 V.
Which of the following is a correct statement?

A

`S_(1)` is true but `S_(2)` is false

B

Both `S_(1) and S_(2)` are false

C

`S_(1)` is true `S_(2)` is also true and `S_(1)` is the cause of `S_(2)`

D

`S_(1)` is true, `S_(1) is also true but the statements are independent
