Correct answer: (B) Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Explanation
Both statements are incorrect, as the definitions of implicit and explicit memory are reversed.
Statement 1 wrongly assigns conscious, intentional recollection to implicit memory.
Implicit memory actually operates without conscious awareness, shaping later behaviour.
Statement 2 wrongly assigns unconscious influence to explicit memory.
Explicit memory is in fact the conscious, intentional recollection of information.
Explicit memory divides into episodic and semantic, while implicit memory includes procedural memory and priming.
