Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
SQL databases are typically vertically scalable, meaning performance is improved by adding resources to a single server. No-SQL databases are designed for horizontal scalability, distributing data across multiple servers.
Since both statements (i) and (ii) are factually true regarding standard database architectures, the correct answer depends on identifying which option claims one is false or if 'None' is an option.
