A

Statement I is true, statement II is true, Statement II is the correct explanation for statement I.

B

Statemet I is true, Statement II is true , Statement II is NOT the correct explanation for Statement I

C

Statement I is True, Statement II is False.

D

Statement I is False, Statement II is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
