Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): A soft or cool harmony can be achieved by using blue colours available in sweet pea, China asters and petunias.
Statement (II): A warm harmony can be achieved by using yellow antirrhinum with orange dimorphotheca or yellow marigold with orange antirrhinum.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true.

Hint:

Color harmony in gardening:
Cool Colors: Blues, purples, greens. Create calm, receding effects. Examples: blue sweet peas, blue petunias.
Warm Colors: Reds, oranges, yellows. Create excitement, advancing effects. Examples: yellow marigolds, orange snapdragons. Combining colors from the same temperature group (cool + cool, or warm + warm) creates harmony.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Blue and violet tones are cool, receding hues, so Statement (I)'s blue combination gives a cool harmony, true.
Step 2: Yellow and orange are adjacent, analogous warm hues on the color wheel.
Step 3: Statement (II)'s yellow-orange pairings therefore give a valid warm harmony, true.
Step 4: Correct answer: Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true.
