The answer is **D**.

**Explanation:**

- **Statement 1** claims that if \( a \neq b \) in a group, then \( a^2 \neq b^2 \). This is false. Counterexamples exist in many groups. For instance, in the cyclic group \( \mathbb{Z}_2 \), let \( a \) be the non-identity element. Then \( a \neq e \) (the identity), but \( a^2 = e = e^2 \). Similarly, in \( S_3 \), distinct transpositions like \( (1\,2) \) and \( (1\,3) \) both square to the identity. Thus, Statement 1 is **False**.

- **Statement 2** asserts that rotations in a dihedral group \( D_n \) form a cyclic subgroup. This is true. The rotations in \( D_n \) correspond to powers of a single generator (rotation by \( 2\pi/n \)), forming a cyclic subgroup of order \( n \). For example, in \( D_4 \), the rotations \( \{0^\circ, 90^\circ, 180^\circ, 270^\circ\} \) are cyclic. Hence, Statement 2 is **True**.

Since Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true, the correct choice is **D**.

Counterexample for Statement 1: In the group of integers under addition, 1 and -1 are different but 1^2 = (-1)^2 = 1. Statement 2 is true as the rotations in a dihedral group do form a cyclic subgroup.
D
minimax D. False, True

Explanation:
Statement 1 is false because in a group, even if a ≠ b, it is not necessarily true that a^2 ≠ b^2. For example, in the group of integers under addition, if a = 1 and b = -1, then a^2 = 1^2 = 1 and b^2 = (-1)^2 = 1, so a^2 = b^2 even though a ≠ b.

Statement 2 is true because the set of rotations in a dihedral group D_n (which represents the symmetries of a regular n-gon) does indeed form a cyclic subgroup. This subgroup is generated by a single rotation and contains all the rotations by multiples of the smallest rotation angle.

kimi D. False, True

Explanation:
Statement 1: This statement is not necessarily true in all groups. For example, in the group of integers under addition, if \( a = 1 \) and \( b = -1 \), then \( a \neq b \) but \( a^2 = b^2 \) since \( 1^2 = (-1)^2 = 1 \). Therefore, this statement is false.

Statement 2: In a dihedral group, which is the group of symmetries of a regular polygon, the set of rotations does indeed form a cyclic subgroup. This is because the rotations can be generated by a single rotation (for example, a \( 180^\circ \) rotation for a dihedral group of order 2), and all other rotations can be obtained by composing this rotation with itself a certain number of times. Therefore, this statement is true.

Explanation:

Statement 1: This statement is false. Consider the group $\mathbb{Z}/4\mathbb{Z}$ (the integers modulo 4 under addition) as a counterexample. In this group, $2 \neq 0$ but $2^2 = 0^2$ (here the exponentiation represents repeated addition). Specifically, $2 + 2 = 0$ (modulo 4) and $0 + 0 = 0$ (modulo 4), so $2^2 = 0^2$ even though $2 \neq 0$.

Statement 2: This statement is true. The dihedral group $D_n$ consists of rotations and reflections of a regular $n$-gon. The set of rotations forms a cyclic subgroup of $D_n$ because the rotations can be generated by a single element (a rotation by one angle, such as a rotation by $2\pi/n$ radians). Since this subgroup is generated by a single element, it is cyclic.

zhipu D. False, True

Explanation:
- Statement 1 is False: In a group, it is possible for two different elements to have the same square. For example, in the group \( \mathbb{Z}/4\mathbb{Z} \) (integers modulo 4), \( 1^2 = 1 \) and \( 3^2 = 1 \), but \( 1 \neq 3 \). Therefore, \( a \neq b \) does not necessarily imply \( a^2 \neq b^2 \).

- Statement 2 is True: In a dihedral group \( D_n \), the set of rotations indeed forms a cyclic subgroup. This subgroup is generated by a single rotation, typically denoted as \( r \), which rotates the polygon by \( \frac{360^\circ}{n} \). The rotations in \( D_n \) are \( r^0, r^1, r^2, \ldots, r^{n-1} \), forming a cyclic subgroup of order \( n \).

deepseekv3 The correct answer is **D. False, True**.

### Explanation:
1. **Statement 1**:
"If \( a \) and \( b \) are elements of a group and \( a \neq b \), then \( a^2 \neq b^2 \)."
This is **false**. In a group, it is possible for two distinct elements \( a \) and \( b \) to satisfy \( a^2 = b^2 \). For example, in the group \( \mathbb{Z}_4 \) (integers modulo 4), let \( a = 1 \) and \( b = 3 \). Then \( a \neq b \), but \( a^2 = 1^2 = 1 \) and \( b^2 = 3^2 = 9 \equiv 1 \pmod{4} \), so \( a^2 = b^2 \).

2. **Statement 2**:
"The set of rotations in a dihedral group form a cyclic subgroup."
This is **true**. The dihedral group \( D_n \) is the group of symmetries of a regular \( n \)-gon. The set of rotations in \( D_n \) forms a cyclic subgroup of order \( n \), generated by a rotation by \( \frac{2\pi}{n} \) radians.

Thus, the correct answer is **D. False, True**.
