Solution

OptionĀ A is the correct answer.Ā Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Statement IĀ is true.Ā Attributive use means the adjective comes directly before the noun it describes.
Example: The red ball. (Here, "red" directly qualifies "ball.")

Statement IIĀ is also true.Ā Predicative use happens when the adjective comes after a linking verb like "is, seems, looks," and describes the subject indirectly.
Example: The ball is red. ("red" describes "ball" through the linking verb "is.")
