Read the following two statements and choose the correct option.
Statement I:Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a subset of Information Technology (IT)
Statement II:The right to use a piece of software is termed copyright
ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false ✓ Correct
CStatement I is false but Statement II is true
DStatement I is true but Statement II is false
Correct answer: (B) Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Explanation
Both statements are false, since each states a relationship incorrectly.
Statement 1 is false because ICT is actually an extension of IT that adds communication, so IT is the subset, not ICT.
Statement 2 is false because the right to use software is granted by a licence, while copyright is the creator's ownership right.
A software licence sets the terms under which a user may install and run a program.
Copyright instead protects the author against unauthorised copying and distribution.
Confusing licence with copyright is a common error in software law basics.
