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

Statement I:In synchronous communication, interaction between teacher and student does not occur at the same instant of time.

Statement II:In asynchronous communication, interaction between teacher and student occurs at the same instant of time.

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true

BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false ✓ Correct

CStatement I is true but Statement II is false

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: (B) Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Explanation

Both statements are false because their definitions of synchronous and asynchronous communication are swapped.

Statement 1 is false because synchronous communication does happen at the same instant, as in a live video class.

In synchronous mode teacher and student are online together and interact in real time.

Statement 2 is false because asynchronous communication does not happen at the same instant, as with email or recorded lectures.

In asynchronous mode a learner responds later at a time that suits them, with a delay between exchanges.

Each statement states the exact opposite of the true meaning of its term.
