The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Statement (I): Human scale means designing dimensions that suit the human body and are comfortable for people to use. This statement is correct.
Statement (II): Monumental scale is deliberately large to create awe and grandeur (as in civic buildings and monuments). Intimate and cozy spaces need human or intimate scale, so this statement is incorrect.
Hence Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
