Option 1 states that both statements are individually true, and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I. To understand this, we need to analyze each statement separately.

Statement I says that the intellectual criteria that influenced the reform movements were rationalism and religious universalism. This means that these two concepts played a significant role in shaping and guiding the reform movements. Rationalism emphasizes the use of reason and logic to understand and solve societal issues, while religious universalism promotes the idea that all religions share common principles and should be treated equally.

Statement II states that social relevance was not judged by a rationalist critique. In other words, the impact and importance of the reform movements were not evaluated solely based on rationalist principles. This means that while rationalism influenced the criteria for the reform movements, it did not solely determine the social relevance of these movements.

Based on this analysis, it is clear that Statement I is true, as it accurately describes the intellectual criteria behind the reform movements. However, Statement II is false, as it contradicts the role of rationalism in evaluating social relevance.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, which states that Statement I is true, but Statement II is false.
