The correct answer is option 3, both I and II.

Statement I is correct because the Treaty of Lisbon was indeed an international agreement signed to change the functioning of the European Union. It aimed to streamline decision-making, enhance the role of national parliaments, and increase the efficiency and democratic accountability of the EU.

Statement II is also correct because for the Treaty of Lisbon to enter into legal force, it needed to be ratified by at least 3/4th member states of the European Union. This requirement ensures that a significant majority of member states support the treaty before it can take effect.

Therefore, both statements provide accurate information about the Treaty of Lisbon and are correct.
