    The correct answer is the first option - The statue holding the torch is the Statue of Liberty.

    You don't need a comma in this sentence because if you separated the phrase holding the torch using commas, then it would mean that phrase is non-essential, when in fact its meaning is very important for this sentence. It is important to know which statue exactly that is - and this is why the phrase should not be separated by commas.
