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

Both statements about subalternation are true.

Subalternation is the relation between a universal and its corresponding particular.

A with I and E with O are the two subaltern pairs of the square.

"No S is P" is the universal E and "Some S is not P" its particular O.

This E-O pairing is therefore a genuine case of subalternation.
