Correct answer: D
Concept
In client-server technology, one program (the client) requests a resource or service and another program (the server) provides it, communicating over a network. The internet offers many such services, each running on its own application-layer protocol. So to judge a statement, check it against how the protocol is actually organised.
Applying it to each statement
Statement I says the World Wide Web is NOT an example of client-server technology. The Web works through a browser (client) that sends an HTTP request and a web server that returns the page (response). That is the textbook client-server model, so claiming the Web is not client-server is wrong — Statement I is false.
Statement II says FTP is a service available on the internet. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a standard internet service used to upload and download files between a client and a server. So Statement II is true.
Result and cross-check
Statement I is false and Statement II is true. Cross-check: the Web (HTTP) and FTP are both client-server internet services — a browser and an FTP client are clients, a web server and an FTP server are servers — which confirms that the Web IS client-server (so Statement I is wrong) while FTP genuinely is an internet service (so Statement II is right). Hence the correct choice is “Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true”.
