S2: 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_2` is also true but the statements are independent
