Detailed Solution

Concept: Because there are two entities, the sentence I is completely correct; 'are' is the correct verb to use here. Sentence II is also correct because 'breaking and entering' is considered one complete act rather than two separate verbs, so 'is' is the correct verb to use here.
The sentence I is correct because there are two entities, ‘are’ is the correct verb to be used here. Second Sentence is also correct, since ‘breaking and entering’ is considered one complete act and not two different verbs, Therefore ‘is’ the correct verb to be used here.
Option a cannot be chosen because both sentences are correct and neither can be considered incorrect, making it an incorrect option. Option b is also ineligible because, as previously stated, both sentences are correct and neither can be considered incorrect, making it an incorrect option. Option c, clearly neither of the sentences is incorrect, so this option cannot be selected, and thus it is incorrect. Option d is clearly the correct option because neither is incorrect.
As a result, option 4 is the correct choice.
