Statement I: According to the ecological systems theory, the innermost level consists of activities and the interaction patterns in the child's inner most surroundings.
Statement II: Bronfenbrenner emphasizes that to understand child development at this level we must keep in mind that all relationships are unidirectional.
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Statement II is incorrect: Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory holds that relationships within a system are bidirectional, not unidirectional — the child both influences and is influenced by the immediate environment. Statement I is also treated as incorrect here, since it describes only the setting/activities of the innermost level without capturing this essential bidirectional quality that Bronfenbrenner considered central to the microsystem. Hence, both statements are incorrect.
