Both Statement I and Statement II are false

- D.
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
A file extension identifies a format’s intended data model. A format may embed another media type without becoming that media type; its primary container and standardized purpose determine its category.
Document containers preserve mixed page content and layout, while audio codecs encode sound data.
Application
A PDF preserves a document’s pages and can contain text, vector graphics, and raster images, so it is not a generic image file. MP3 is an MPEG audio-compression format, so it is an audio file format.
Cross-check and contrast
Both Statement I and Statement II are true: this treats a document container as a generic image format.
Both Statement I and Statement II are false: this overlooks MP3’s standardized audio role.
Statement I is true but Statement II is false: this reverses both file-format classifications.
Statement I is false but Statement II is true: this matches the document-versus-audio classification.
Therefore, Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
