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

Statement I:To obvert a proposition, we change its quality and replace the predicate with its complement.

Statement II:Obversion is valid for any standard-form categorical proposition.

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true ✓ Correct

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

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: obversion changes the quality and substitutes the predicate's complement.

An A becomes an E, an E an A, an I an O, and an O an I under this rule.

Statement 2 is correct too: obversion is valid for all four standard categorical forms.

In every case the obverse keeps exactly the truth value of the original.

So both statements about obversion hold.
