Treat the statement as true: humans cannot match a supercomputer's speed of billions of calculations per second.
Inference I says humans are less efficient than supercomputers in data processing.
Being unable to match that processing speed is precisely a lower level of efficiency, so inference I follows directly.
Inference II says humans and supercomputers differ in their capabilities.
A clear gap in processing power is itself a difference in capability, so inference II also follows.
Both inferences are supported straight from the wording of the statement, without needing outside facts.
Therefore the correct choice is Both I and II follows.
