Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
Professional roles are distinguished by the system they primarily design, operate, or administer. Hardware engineering concerns physical computing components, database administration concerns data platforms, and network administration concerns communication infrastructure.
For a two-statement item, classify each duty independently before combining the two truth values; this avoids letting one familiar role influence the other judgement.
Application
Statement I assigns planning, implementation, configuration, and administration of a DBMS to a hardware engineer. Those are database-administration responsibilities, whereas hardware engineers primarily design and test physical components. Therefore Statement I is false.
Statement II assigns management and maintenance of an organization local area network to a network administrator. Operating, monitoring, and maintaining organizational networks are network-administration responsibilities. Therefore Statement II is true.
Cross-check and contrast
Both statements true: it misclassifies the database-administration duty.
Both statements false: it overlooks the network-administration duty.
Statement I true and Statement II false: it reverses both role classifications.
Statement I false and Statement II true: it follows the independent role classification.
Result
Thus, Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
