Correct answer: C. Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.

Short Day Plants (SDP) require a continuous, uninterrupted dark period that exceeds a critical duration for flowering to occur. Therefore, Statement (I) is correct. If this dark period is interrupted even by a brief flash of light, the flowering in SDP is inhibited, and they will not flower. Therefore, Statement (II) is incorrect. Answer: Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.
