Which statement is correct regarding a point-to-point connection in data…

Concept

A point-to-point configuration connects exactly two endpoints through a dedicated physical or logical link.

Time-sharing allocates a common communication resource among multiple users or devices at different times; it describes shared use rather than an exclusive endpoint-to-endpoint link.

For example, a direct link between two routers remains point-to-point even when packets are sent at different moments: the deciding issue is that the link capacity belongs to those two endpoints, not whether transmission is continuous.

Application

1. Statement I identifies a dedicated link between two devices, which matches the definition of a point-to-point connection.

2. Statement II calls the connection time-shared. That would require a communication resource shared over time, which conflicts with the dedicated two-endpoint arrangement.

Cross-check and contrast

• Only II reverses both evaluations by rejecting the dedicated-link statement and accepting the time-sharing statement.

• Both I and II keeps the time-sharing statement even though shared use conflicts with the defining dedicated link.

• Neither I nor II rejects the dedicated-link statement even though that statement gives the defining property.

• Only I retains the dedicated-link statement and rejects the time-sharing statement.

Result

Therefore, statement I is true and statement II is false; the answer is Only I.
