Correct option is C
Statement I is true because non-verbal signals are indeed used to emphasize and support verbal communication. They enhance the message by providing additional cues such as gestures, facial expressions, and tone of voice. These signals can help clarify the intent or emotion behind the words.
Statement II is false because, in some cases, non-verbal communication can fully replace verbal communication, such as in gestures used in sign language or situations where verbal communication is not possible (e.g., silence or visual-only communication). Non-verbal signals can function independently in certain contexts.
