★The answer is that Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
★Exploratory research is done to get early indications and understand a problem, so Statement I is correct.
★Its aim is to explore, not to establish causality, which needs conclusive or experimental research.
★So the claim that it finds causality makes Statement II incorrect.
★Thus only the first statement holds.
★Exploratory work only points the way for later, firmer studies.
★So the answer is that Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
