Correct answer: (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Explanation
Both statements are true, describing asynchronous communication and giving valid examples.
Statement 1 is true because asynchronous communication happens out of sync, not in real time.
Statement 2 is true because forums, blogs, e groups, knowledge bases, search engines, SMS, MMS and podcasting all work without simultaneous presence.
