The correct answer is I and II.

The Ministerial Meeting of the WTO held in December 1999 was unsuccessful because it attempted to link trade with labor-related issues (statement I) and environment-related issues (statement II). These attempts to incorporate labor standards and environmental regulations into international trade agreements faced resistance from some member countries, leading to the failure of the meeting. Statement III (terrorism-related issues) and statement IV (debt-related issues) are not directly related to the concerns discussed during the WTO meeting in December 1999.
