    C Statement I is true but Statement II is false Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Statement I is false but Statement II is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Osmotic pressure is always positive, not negative. Osmotic pressure refers to the pressure required to prevent the osmosis of a solvent (usually water) across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. On the other hand, osmotic potential is always negative.
