Statement I: A conducting body is connected to the earth, hence it is electrically neutral.
Statement II: The potential of a conducting body connected to the earth is zero.

Options

A. Statement I is true, Statement II is True, Statement II is a correct explanation for statement I.
B. Statement I is true, Statement II is True, Statement II is Not a correct explanation for statement I.
C. Statement I is True, Statement II is False.
D. Statement I is False, Statement II is True.

Explanation

To analyze the statements given in the question, we will break down each statement and evaluate their correctness step by step.

### Step 1: Evaluate Statement I
**Statement I:** A conducting body is connected to the earth, hence it is electrically neutral.

- When a conducting body is connected to the earth, it can exchange charge with the earth. This means electrons can flow between the conductor and the earth.
- If the conductor gains electrons from the earth, it becomes negatively charged. Conversely, if it loses electrons to the earth, it becomes positively charged.
- Therefore, the conducting body can either be positively charged or negatively charged when connected to the earth, but it does not necessarily mean it is electrically neutral.

**Conclusion for Statement I:** This statement is **false**.

### Step 2: Evaluate Statement II
**Statement II:** The potential of a conducting body connected to the earth is zero.

- The earth is defined as having a potential of zero volts (0 V).
- When a conductor is connected to the earth, it will reach the same electric potential as the earth due to the flow of charge until equilibrium is reached.
- Thus, the potential of the conducting body will also be zero when connected to the earth.

**Conclusion for Statement II:** This statement is **true**.

### Final Conclusion
- Statement I is false.
- Statement II is true.

Therefore, the correct answer is that Statement I is false and Statement II is true.
