The correct answer is

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.

To solve the given question, we need to evaluate the correctness of the two statements regarding types of memory.

Statement I: Sensory memory is that memory which helps an individual to recall something immediately after having perceived it.

Explanation: Sensory memory refers to the initial stage of memory where the information from the senses is stored momentarily for a very short period. It allows an individual to briefly retain sensory impressions immediately after the original stimulus has ended. This description aligns with what Statement I states, which makes this statement correct.

Statement II: Semantic memory is that memory which helps in storing as well as retrieving a collection of relationships between events or association of ideas.

Explanation: Semantic memory is a category of long-term memory that involves the understanding of concepts and meanings. It is concerned with the storage and retrieval of facts, meanings, concepts, and knowledge about the external world. It involves the network of knowledge we have about the world, which fits well with the description provided in Statement II. Therefore, this statement is also correct.

After evaluating both statements, it is clear that both statements are indeed accurate representations of sensory memory and semantic memory, respectively.

Conclusion: The most appropriate answer is: Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
