BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false

CStatement I is true but Statement II is false

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true ✓ Correct

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

Explanation

Statement 1 is false: fibre-optic cable does use light pulses, but it is best for long distances, not small buildings where cheaper cabling suffices.

Statement 2 is true because a URL is the text a web browser uses to locate a web address on the internet.

For a small building, twisted-pair Ethernet is usually the practical and economical choice.

Fibre-optic shines in long-haul and high-bandwidth links because it carries light with very low loss.

A URL identifies a resource by its protocol, domain name and path.

URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator.
