Answer:

Option 1) p ←→ q

Explanation:

The given statement is a combination of two phrases with a connective word.

Phrase 1 - The Fratellis will be arrested.

We consider this phrase as phrase p.

Phrase 2 - If the police believe chunk.

Phrase q.

Now these statements p and q are connected with a connecting word "If only and only".

When two phrases are connected by the connecting words "Only and only if", this connecting word is called as biconditional operator.

p (connecting word) q

p ( If and only if) q

p ←→ q

Therefore, Option 1) p ←→ q is the answer.
