Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Statement I:To teach a concept to students, its defining attributes have to be very clear.

Statement II:Concepts defined by the presence of one or more attributes are called disjunctive concepts.

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true

BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false

CStatement I is true but Statement II is false ✓ Correct

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: (C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Explanation

Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is incorrect: to teach a concept, its defining attributes must be very clear.

Clear defining attributes let students distinguish examples from non-examples of the concept.

Statement 2 is wrong because concepts defined by the presence of one or more attributes are not disjunctive concepts.

Conjunctive concepts require the joint presence of two or more attributes together.

Disjunctive concepts are defined by the presence of one attribute or another, on an either-or basis.

Relational concepts, by contrast, rest on a relationship between attributes rather than their mere presence.
