Detailed Solution

Here, we have been asked to check if the square of an odd number is odd or not.
The odd numbers are the ones that end with

1, 3, 5, 7, 9.

According to the square number property, if a number has either 1 or 9 in the unit's place, its square will have 1 there.
The square of a number that has either 3 or 7 in the unit's place also has 9 in the unit's place.
If a number has a unit place value of 5, then the square of that number also has a place value of 5 in its unit.
As a result, we can say that an odd integer's square is an odd number.
Therefore, the given statement is true.
Thus, option (1) is correct.
