The two correct statements that describe elliptical galaxies are:

b. they are the most common galaxy type
c. they typically contain very little gas and dust

(Note: While some elliptical galaxies can be quite large, the statement about including the universe's largest galaxies can be somewhat misleading, as some spiral galaxies can also be very large, and it's not a defining characteristic of elliptical galaxies.)
