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

Answer: D

Correct answer: Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Statement I is incorrect. Adding information does not always improve the picture, and beyond a point it degrades it.

Statement II is correct and is why: each additional symbol competes for attention with every other, so the time to find a needed value rises and the chance of missing something important rises with it. The effect bites hardest at high workload, when the margin is least. Good display design is therefore as much about what to leave out, or to suppress by flight phase, as about what to show.
