The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Statement I: a partition wall is an interior wall whose function is to divide the space within a building. This is the standard definition, so Statement I is correct.
Statement II: partition walls are mostly non-load bearing (light walls of brick, block, glass or boards), but a partition may also be constructed as a load-bearing wall when it carries the floor or roof above. So a partition wall could be load bearing or non-load bearing, and Statement II is correct.
Both statements are correct.
Answer: (1) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
