Correct option is A
Statement I posits that communication can be a path to seek truth, which is true as communication allows for the exchange of information, ideas, and discoveries that can lead to a better understanding of reality and uncovering of facts.
Statement II asserts that communication can be used to suppress truth. This is also true as communication can be manipulated to hide, distort, or misrepresent facts, thereby suppressing the truth.
Thus, both statements acknowledge the dual nature of communication in its relationship with truth, making option (a) the correct answer.
