Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Statement (I) is correct: The Kyoto Protocol operates on the principle of 'common but differentiated responsibilities,' primarily binding developed countries (Annex I parties) to emission reduction targets.
Statement (II) is incorrect: The Kyoto Protocol is a legally binding extension of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), not unrelated to it.
Since Statement (I) is true and Statement (II) is false, the correct option is 2.
