The Quadrilateral \(OABC\) is evidently a square as
1. \(OA = OC\)
2. \(\angle{AOC}\) is \(90^{\circ}\)
3. \(\angle{OAB}\) is \(90^{\circ}\) as tangent is perpendicular to radius (as perceived from figure)

So, statement 1 gives the value of \(\pi\cdot\dfrac{(360-90)}{360}\cdot r\), from which \(r\) can be calculated. Sufficient. \(\Large{\color{green}\checkmark}\)

Statement 2 gives the perimeter of the square which is \(4r\) so r can be calculated. Sufficient \(\Large{\color{green}\checkmark}\)

Therefore, D
