Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Explanation

Clipping a triangle against a rectangle can cut it at every window corner, giving a polygon of up to 7 sides, so Statement I (6) is false. Perspective projection divides by z, which is non-linear in z, so Statement II is true.
