Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
A web browser is client software that retrieves and displays web pages. A web search engine is an online service that indexes web content and returns results for a query.
A product name or company name does not decide the category; the product's function does. Each statement must therefore be checked by classifying every named product by its role.
Application
Google Search is a web search engine, and Google Chrome is a web browser. Therefore, Statement I is correct.
Microsoft Edge is a web browser, whereas Microsoft Bing is a web search engine. Statement II reverses these roles, so it is incorrect.
Contrast
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct: this treats Edge as a search engine and Bing as a browser.
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect: this rejects the accurate classifications in Statement I.
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct: this reverses the evaluation of both statements.
Cross-check and result
Checking by function gives browser = Chrome and Edge, and search engine = Google Search and Bing. Hence, Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
