This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2022 Politics Including IR Question Paper (09-Jul-2022) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Both Statement I and Statement II are true.

Concept: Both statements describe healthy, socially acceptable ways of managing emotional (instinctive) energy, drawn from psychology of emotion and adjustment. We test each independently.

Statement I is true: Through redirection and sublimation, the flow of emotional energy is diverted away from an undesirable or socially unacceptable goal towards a socially desirable, constructive one. Sublimation, in particular, channels blocked or unacceptable impulses into valued activities such as art, sport, music or academic work - so the energy is not suppressed but re-aimed.

Statement II is true: Catharsis is a desirable method that provides safe channels or outlets (talking, writing, crying, creative expression) for releasing pent-up emotional energy. This release relieves inner tension and helps restore emotional balance and mental well-being.

Since both describe recognised, valid techniques for handling emotional energy, both statements are true, so the combination "both true" is correct.

Why the other options are wrong: Any option marking either statement false is incorrect, because both redirection/sublimation and catharsis are genuinely accepted, constructive methods - neither statement contains an error.

Takeaway: Sublimation re-channels energy to a higher goal; catharsis releases it safely - both are healthy, not harmful.
Correct answer: Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
