Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
A plain-text editor stores mostly unformatted characters and provides basic text-entry and editing operations.
A word processor adds rich formatting, page layout, tables, images, and document-format support; it can also open or import plain-text files.
Application
Statement I: Notepad and Emacs are plain-text editors. Compared with word processors, they provide fewer document-formatting and page-layout features, so Statement I is true.
Statement II: A file created by a plain-text editor is normally a plain-text file. Word processors can open or import this format, so Statement II is false.
Cross-check and contrast
Both statements true conflicts with the normal ability of word processors to open plain-text files.
Both statements false conflicts with the limited rich-formatting capability of plain-text editors.
Statement I true and Statement II false matches both the feature comparison and the file-compatibility check.
Statement I false and Statement II true reverses both established properties.
Therefore, Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
