Correct answer: (C) Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Explanation
Vyapti links hetu with sadhya, needs no upadhi, and runs from smoke to fire.
Invariable concomitance is the unconditional relation between the mark and the probandum (Statement 1 holds).
It is stated 'wherever there is smoke there is fire,' the pervaded following the pervader.
Statement 2 wrongly ties it to the paksa, demands an upadhi, and reverses it to 'wherever fire there smoke.'
Fire without smoke exists, so that reversed, conditioned relation is false.
