The correct answer is

Both I and II

The question asks which organ(s) can be donated by a person who is still alive, choosing between a part of the liver (I) and a kidney (II).

Living donation is possible for organs that either occur in a pair, so the body can continue to function with the one that remains, or that can regenerate after a portion is surgically removed.

The liver has a remarkable capacity to regenerate: a healthy donor can give a lobe (part) of the liver, and within a few weeks both the transplanted portion in the recipient and the remainder in the donor grow back to near-normal size and function, so statement I is correct.

Humans are normally born with two kidneys but can live a full, healthy and active life with a single functioning kidney, since one kidney can take over the filtration workload, so a person can safely donate one kidney while alive, making statement II correct as well.

Both procedures are routinely and legally carried out in India under the Transplantation of Human Organs Act, subject to medical fitness and consent safeguards.

Therefore both a part of the liver and a kidney qualify as organs that a living donor can give.

Hence, the correct option is Both I and II.
