Statement II: Finite verbs are usually gerunds, infinitives or participle.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

The correct answer is

Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Finite verbs change according to tense, number and person, so Statement I is true. Gerunds, infinitives and participles are non-finite verb forms, not finite verbs, so Statement II is false. Hence option (C) is correct.
