Please give a thumbs up if you find this helpful :)

The statement most correct about Euro currency is They are traded outside the country of their denomination.

Reasoning:

Eurocurrency is the type of currency held on deposit or traded outside its home market, i.e. other than the country which issues the currency. For Instance, A US dollar-denominated deposit in a Singapore Bank is Euro currency.

Statement 1) They are traded within the country of their denomination: False

As discussed above, the Euro currency is traded or deposited outside the country of its denomination. Therefore, the statement is incorrect.

Statement 2) They are traded outside the country of their denomination: True

The eurocurrency is the financial instrument traded outside of the country where it is legal tender, as discussed in other parts of the answer. Therefore, the same is correct and makes the right the option for question

Statement 3)They are traded primarily outside of Europe: False

Euro here is just a prefix used and has nothing to do with Europe. A Euro prefix can be applied to any country currency for instance. we have Euro-yen when a yen is deposited in a Brazilian bank

Statement 4) They are traded primarily in Europe: False

The euro currency is not Europe bound and can be for any country. Thus the statement is incorrect about EuroCurrency

Statement 5) They are always issued in euros: False

We can use Euros prefix with any currency provided it is been traded outside its home market. For major Eurocurrency includes US dollar, yen, British pound, and Euros.
