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

Statement I:Too much media communication has necessitated the need for media literacy.

Statement II:Audience fragmentation and media literacy are unrelated areas of mass communication.

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

The first statement is right and the second is wrong: heavy media exposure has made media literacy necessary, but audience fragmentation and media literacy are related, not unrelated.

Statement 1 is true because the flood of media messages requires audiences to critically read, evaluate and question content.

Statement 2 is false because a fragmented audience spread across many channels makes media literacy more, not less, important.

Media literacy equips people to decode the layered meanings that diverse, scattered media carry.

Both belong to the same field of mass communication concerned with how audiences receive messages.

The two ideas reinforce each other rather than standing apart.
