IMO Option D
Both statements are alone sufficient to answee the question.
Any multiple of 2 or 4 gives remainder 1 when divided by(n-3)^2

If n is an integer, what is the remainder when \((n – 3)^2\) is divided by 4?
(Statement1): n is divisible by 2.
-->let's say that n =2k (k -integer)
\((n – 3)^{2}= (2k-3)^{2}= 4k^{2} -12k+ 9 --> 4(k^{2} -3k+ 2)+ 1\)
--> the remainder is 1.
Sufficient
(Statement2): n is divisible by 4.
-->let's say that n =4k (k -integer)
\((n – 3)^{2}= (4k-3)^{2}= 16k^{2} -24k+ 9 --> 4(4k^{2} -8k+ 2)+ 1\)
--> the remainder is 1.
Sufficient
The answer is D.
