Solution

The correct statement about Article 31 of the Rome Statute is: "The Judges decide on the applicability of the grounds for excluding criminal responsibility to the case before it". This is because Article 31 does not limit the grounds for excluding criminal responsibility to those mentioned within it, and it does not provide an exemption for voluntary intoxication.
