Direction: It consists of two statements, one labeled as ‘Statement (I)’ and the others as ‘Statement (II)’. You are to examine these two statements carefully and select the answer using the codes given below:Statement (I): Electrostriction occurs due to piezoelectricity which in the reverse effect i.e. the production of polarization on application of mechanical stress if the lattice has no centre of sysmetry.Statement (II): When an electric field is applied to a substance it becomes polarized, the electrons and nuclei assume new geometric positions and the mechanical dimensions of the substance are altered.

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are individually true and Statement (II) is the correct explanation of Statement (I)
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are individually true but Statement (II) is NOT the correct explanation of Statement (I)
• C. Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false
• D. Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true
