Correct option is A

Statement I is correct:
· In Svārtha Anumāna (inference for oneself), according to the Nyaya school of Indian philosophy, a formal articulation of the different components of inference (Proposition, Reason, Example, Application, and Conclusion) is not required. The inference is made internally by the individual without formally stating each step.
Statement II is correct:
· Svārtha Anumāna is indeed a psychological process because it involves an individual’s internal reasoning and mental recognition of the inference. The process happens within the mind of the person drawing the inference.
