Explanation

Statements A, B, and C correctly describe the reinforcement requirements for columns: the minimum longitudinal reinforcement area is 0.8%, spacing along the perimeter should not exceed 300 mm, and bar diameter must be at least 12 mm. However, statement D is incorrect because a circular column should have no less than four longitudinal bars to ensure structural integrity.
