Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept
An internet access service and a web-browsing application perform different functions. An Internet service provider (ISP) supplies network connectivity under a service arrangement, while a web browser requests, renders, and displays web content.
In information retrieval, a hit is an item returned because it matches the search criteria; the term may refer to a matching web page or result.
Application
Statement I separates the connectivity provider from the viewing software and explicitly says that access is provided for a fee. That description is true.
Statement II uses hit for a page or site found by matching the search criteria. That description is true in the terminology intended by the question.
Cross-check and contrast
Both statements true: this assigns the established truth value to each statement.
Both statements false: this conflicts with both established definitions.
Statement I true and Statement II false: this conflicts with the meaning of hit used in Statement II.
Statement I false and Statement II true: this conflicts with the distinct roles of an ISP and a browser in Statement I.
Therefore, both Statement I and Statement II are true.
