This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2023 Home Science Question Paper (13-Dec-2023) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Both Statement I and Statement II are true.

Examine each statement.
Statement I defines situated cognition — the view that thinking and knowing are embedded in, and distributed across, social and physical contexts rather than existing only inside an individual mind. That definition is accurate, so Statement I is true.
Statement II defines a schema — a mental framework or organised structure of knowledge that a person uses to organise and interpret incoming information. That too is a correct textbook definition, so Statement II is true.
Since both definitions correctly match their concepts, the correct choice is Both Statement I and Statement II are true. There is no factual error in either statement that would make it false.
