The correct answer is: Q4πε0 R and Zero

This is a learning based question where we have to choose the option which is correct for the electric potential and electric field at the centre of the sphere.

For a conducting sphere
Electric field at centre =0
Potential at centre =kQR=Q4πε0 R

So Option (2) will be correct.
