DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Explanation

Both statements are true: the physical context of communication is tangible, and the temporal context deals with the sequence of events.

Statement 1 is true because physical context is the concrete, perceivable place, the room, hall or setting where communication happens.

Statement 2 is true because temporal context concerns the time factor and the order in which events and messages occur.

The physical setting shapes the ambience and formality of the exchange.

The temporal frame decides which topics suit a moment, morning matters differing from working-hour matters.

Both are recognised contexts that surround and influence any act of communication.
