Solution
Statement I is false and Statement II is true.
Explanation:
Democratic (participative) leaders consult and involve subordinates in decision‑making but do not usually give them the very high degree of independence described, which is characteristic of laissez‑faire leadership. Autocratic leaders issue commands with one‑way communication and expect subordinates to follow them.
