• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
• C. Statement I is true, but Statement II is false.
• D. Statement I is false, but Statement II is true.

Hint:

Globalisation has many dimensions and cultural homogenisation is a recognised effect.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understand the question:
We test two statements about the nature and effects of globalisation.

Step 2: Check Statement I:
Globalisation has political, economic and cultural sides, and each is studied in NCERT. So it is a multidimensional concept.
Statement I is TRUE.

Step 3: Check Statement II:
NCERT says that one cultural effect is the rise of a uniform culture, also called cultural homogenisation, when the culture of the strongest nation spreads.
The same chapter also notes that cultures can mix and gain, but homogenisation is a recognised effect. Statement II is TRUE.

Step 4: Check each option:
(A) Both true. This is CORRECT.
(B) Both false. Wrong.
(C) I true, II false. Wrong, because homogenisation is a stated effect.
(D) I false, II true. Wrong, because I is true.

Final Answer:
Both statements are true, so the answer is option (A). \[ \boxed{\text{Option (A)}} \]
