The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Agricultural income is exempt under Section 10(1) of the Income Tax Act, but partial integration ensures higher earners pay fair tax. If agricultural income exceeds ₹5000 and non-agricultural income exceeds the basic exemption, both are combined to compute tax liability. Hence, both statements are correct.
