The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements are correct, let's analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement I: Chimpanzee live in nuclear family.** - A nuclear family typically consists of two parents and their children. However, chimpanzees live in social groups that can include multiple individuals, often consisting of 15 to 20 members, including mothers, offspring, and sometimes other relatives. Therefore, while they may have a family structure, it is not strictly a nuclear family. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Statement II: Giraffe is the tallest mammal of the Earth.** - Giraffes are indeed known to be the tallest mammals on Earth, with adult males reaching heights of up to 18 feet (5.5 meters). This statement is accurate. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. 3. **Statement III: Rhinoceros is the second largest terrestrial animal after elephant.** - Elephants are the largest terrestrial animals, and rhinoceroses are indeed the second largest. This statement is also accurate. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. 4. **Statement IV: Sloth is a nocturnal animal, sleeps around 17 hours in day time.** - Sloths are known for their slow movements and long sleep durations, often sleeping for around 17 hours a day. However, they are not strictly nocturnal; they can be active during the day as well. The statement about their sleep duration is correct, but the classification as nocturnal is misleading. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **partially correct** but misleading. ### Final Evaluation: - The correct statements are: - **II. Giraffe is the tallest mammal of the Earth.** - **III. Rhinoceros is the second largest terrestrial animal after elephant.** Thus, the correct statements from the options are II and III.
