Abigail wrote the statements shown in the chart. Statement Description 1 If two lines intersect, then exactly one plane contains both lines. 2 If a point lies outside a line, then exactly one plane contains both the line and the point. Which option best classifies Abigail’s statements? Statement 1 and Statement 2 are postulates because they are true facts. Statement 1 and Statement 2 are theorems because they can be proved with the help of appropriate postulates. Statement 1 is a theorem because it can be proved and Statement 2 is a postulate because it can be proved

I don't think these are obvious statements, but they can be proven. So that makes me want to lean towards the fact that the two statements are theorems (and not postulates)
