Explanation
- Statement I is true — the textbook states ICT has played a major role in the globalisation process.
- Statement II is also true — the textbook says telecommunication facilities are used "to contact one another around the world, to access information instantly, and to communicate from remote areas."
- Crucially, Statement II directly explains the mechanism by which ICT stimulates globalisation, making it the correct explanation — so Option A is right, not B.
