Correct Answer:
A. Both Statements I and II are true.
Explanation:
Green chemistry is an approach to chemical research and engineering that encourages the design of products and processes that minimize the use and generation of hazardous substances. Statement I is correct because green chemistry is indeed a philosophical framework that applies scientific knowledge to reduce the environmental impact of chemical activities. Statement II is also correct as it describes the practical goal of green chemistry, which is to develop production methods that are sustainable and prevent pollution or environmental damage. Since both statements accurately define the nature and objectives of green chemistry, the correct option is that both Statements I and II are true.
