Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
CONCEPT
A file extension identifies a format and indicates how that format stores or presents data.
When a statement says an extension is ‘used with’ certain content, test whether the format can carry that content; the claim does not require every file with that extension to contain it.
APPLICATION
Check Statement I: MP4 is a standard audiovisual container commonly used for video. GIF can store multiple images with timing control and is therefore used for short animations. Statement I is true.
Check Statement II: ZIP is an archive format that normally compresses packaged files, and RAR is an archive format designed to support data compression. Statement II is true.
CONTRAST
‘Both statements are true’ preserves both verified capabilities.
‘Both statements are false’ rejects both verified capabilities.
‘Statement I is true but Statement II is false’ overlooks the compression capability of ZIP and RAR archives.
‘Statement I is false but Statement II is true’ overlooks animated GIF capability and the audiovisual use of MP4.
Therefore, both Statement I and Statement II are true.
