Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A
Step 1: The parallax method is indeed used to measure large distances such as that of planets, particularly in astronomy to determine the distances to nearby stars. This makes Statement I true.
Step 2: In the context of the parallax method, the distance between two points of observation (usually the positions of the Earth at different times) is referred to as the 'basis' or baseline. This also makes Statement II true.
Therefore, both statements I and II are true.
