Primary key

Primary key may not contain duplicate values. Primary Key is a combination of Unique and NOT NULL Constraints so it can’t have duplicate values or any NULL values. A primary key is a special relational database table column (or combination of columns) designated to uniquely identify all table records. It must contain a unique value for each row of data.

"primary key may contains duplicate values" is also true b'coz of initially deferred option in primary key constraint

Primary key can be composite - made up of two or more columns. Thus the third option(Primary key can not be applied for multiple columns)(false) correct as well.
