BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false ✓ Correct
CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer: (B) Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Explanation
Both statements are false, since MP3 files are smaller and lower in quality than WAV.
Statement 1 wrongly says MP3 uses more memory than WAV.
MP3 uses lossy compression, so it takes less memory than an uncompressed WAV.
Statement 2 wrongly says MP3 has better quality than WAV.
WAV keeps full audio detail, giving higher fidelity than lossy MP3.
MP3 trades some sound quality for much smaller file sizes.
