The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

- Statement I is false. An endemic refers to a disease that is consistently present within a specific geographic area or population. When it spreads globally, it is called a pandemic, not an endemic. - Statement II is true. An epidemic refers to a sudden increase in the number of cases of a disease above what is normally expected in a specific region or population. A disease that is permanently present in a population is referred to as an endemic. Thus, the correct answer is (d) I is false but II is true.
