In the light of the above statements, choose answer from the options given below:

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Statement I: The centralized control of signs and symbols of mediated communication may affect a plurality of opinions on the Internet. This is true because when control over online communication is concentrated in the hands of a few entities or corporations, it can impact the diversity of opinions and voices on the internet.
Statement II: The global corporate owners of Internet companies aim only at profits, not the existence of pluriverse. This is also true in many cases, as corporate-owned internet companies often prioritize financial gain over promoting a diverse range of perspectives and voices on their platforms.
