Statement I: A single parity bit provides strong error protection.

Statement II: Parity detects any odd number of bit errors in a word.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer.

  • A.Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  • B.Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
  • C.Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  • D.Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

Answer: C

The second statement is correct but it does not support the first: an even number of errors passes undetected. That blind spot is exactly why later buses use checksums and cyclic redundancy checks. Parity alone is not enough.
