ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct ✓ Correct

BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

CStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Correct answer: (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

Explanation

The first statement holds, since Western models examined the relationship among communicative elements on an individual basis.

The second statement also holds, as the Buddhist concept stresses the contextualisation of each communicative element.

The two describe a genuine contrast between an individualising Western approach and a contextualising Buddhist one.

Neither claim is factually wrong, and the two stand together.

This links to the Buddhist multi-causal, interdependent view of communication.

Western analysis isolates elements while the Buddhist view embeds them in context.
