This statement is a conditional statement that relates the propositions "It is raining" and "The streets are wet". The statement is true if either the antecedent is false or the consequent is true. 

Option (1) is correct as in this case since the streets are wet, the consequent is true, and therefore the statement is true, regardless of whether it is actually raining or not. 

Option (2) is incorrect as this statement is not false because the streets are actually wet. 

Option (3) is incorrect as this statement is not indeterminate because the truth value can be determined based on the given information.
