Given below are two statements:
Statement I: A cookie is a packet of information sent by a web browser to a web server.
Statement II: Spam can ‘clog up’ a user’s inbox with unwanted emails; it can also lead to phishing attacks.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Here we must evaluate two statements about web technology and choose the verdict that matches each one.
Statement I is false: The standard, correct definition is the reverse of what the statement says. A cookie is a small packet of data that a web server sends to the user's web browser; the browser then stores it locally and attaches it back to future requests made to that same server, enabling session management, login persistence and personalisation. The statement claims the cookie is sent by the browser to the server as its origin — reversing the direction of who first creates and sends it — so the statement is treated as false.
Statement II is true: Spam refers to unsolicited bulk email. It genuinely 'clogs up' a user's inbox with unwanted messages, and it is also a primary delivery channel for phishing — fraudulent emails that impersonate trusted senders to trick users into revealing passwords, card numbers or other sensitive information, or into clicking malicious links. Both consequences described are accurate.
Because the first statement is false while the second is true, the fitting verdict is Statement I is false but Statement II is true. The option calling both true fails on the reversed cookie direction; the option calling both false wrongly rejects the accurate spam statement; and the option calling only the first true has it exactly backwards.
Correct answer: Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
