Direction: It consists of two statements, one labelled as Statement (I) and the other as Statement (II). Examine these two statements carefully and select the answers to these items using the codes given below:Statement (I): Cold-working of a conductor material results in a decrease in the electrical conductivity of a metal because the localized strains interfere with the electron movement.Statement (II): Subsequent annealing of the conductor material restores the electrical conductivity by establishing greater regularity in the crystal lattice.

• 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 and 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
