    I think the correct one is "is"

    which refers to === find out the statement among these statements that is correct.

    In your opinion, which of these advices are generally good?
    a..b....c...d...
    Which of these statements about DNA is not true?

    Both make sense. I think based on the context we, need to take a call.

    Correct me If I am wrong.

    As per my understanding which is used either to describe the antecedent or it is used as a pick &/or choose and in that case it is singular.

    Here is dictionary.com =====clarifies it.

    which P Pronunciation Key (hwch, wch)
    pron.
    What particular one or ones: Which of these is yours?
    The one or ones previously mentioned or implied, specifically:
    Used as a relative pronoun in a clause that provides additional information about the antecedent: my house, which is small and old.
    Used as a relative pronoun preceded by that or a preposition in a clause that defines or restricts the antecedent: that which he needed; the subject on which she spoke.
    Used instead of that as a relative pronoun in a clause that defines or restricts the antecedent: The movie which was shown later was better.
    Any of the things, events, or people designated or implied; whichever: Choose which you like best.
    A thing or circumstance that: He left early, which was wise.
