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

Both statements are false, since coercive communication is not ethical and unethical propaganda does not truly serve national prestige and security.

Statement 1 is false, because coercive communication relies on pressure and force, which strips it of ethical standing whatever its power or results.

Statement 2 is false, because unethical propagandist communication in international power politics corrodes trust and credibility rather than genuinely promoting a nation's prestige and security.

The pair praises exactly the manipulative practices that responsible communication warns against.

Reading either as true would endorse coercion and deceit as sound communication, which they are not.

Ethical communication turns on honesty and respect for the receiver, the very qualities coercion and unethical propaganda abandon.
