Statement I:In symbolic communication, power operates through images.

Statement II:Such an advantage of exercising power does not exist in other types of 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 claim is correct while the second is not, so power through images is not unique to symbolic communication.

In symbolic communication power does operate through images, signs and representations that shape perception.

The second claim wrongly says this power advantage exists in no other type of communication.

Power is in fact exercised across many forms, including verbal, interpersonal and mass communication.

Every channel offers its own means of influence, so images are not the sole vehicle of power.

The claim of exclusivity is what makes the second statement false.
