Correct answer: C

To determine the correctness of the given statements, we need to understand the classifications of analgesics (pain relievers).

Statement I: "Aspirin and Paracetamol belong to the class of narcotic analgesics."

This statement is incorrect. Aspirin and Paracetamol are classified as non-narcotic (or non-opioid) analgesics. They are commonly used for pain relief and fever reduction without the addictive properties associated with narcotic analgesics.

Statement II: "Morphine and Heroin are non-narcotic analgesics."

This statement is also incorrect. Morphine and Heroin are classified as narcotic (or opioid) analgesics. These drugs are derived from opium and have strong pain-relieving properties, but they also have a high potential for addiction and abuse.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

Option C: Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
