View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option B
Two
Explanation
Statements (B) and (D) are incorrect. In some women, the hymen persists even after coitus (so B is incorrect). The presence or absence of hymen is NOT a reliable indicator of virginity or sexual experience (so D is incorrect). Thus, exactly two statements are incorrect.
