The correct answer is option 1: Both the statements are individually true and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I.

Statement I is true as Operation Parakram did involve the mobilization of Indian troops along India`s border with Pakistan. Operation Parakram was a military standoff between India and Pakistan that took place in 2001-2002 after the terrorist attacks on the Indian Parliament. India wanted to respond to the attacks and put pressure on Pakistan to take action against terror groups operating from areas under its control.

Statement II is also true as it correctly explains the motive behind Operation Parakram. After the Parliament attacks, India wanted to pressure Pakistan into taking action against the terror groups responsible for the attacks. The mobilization of troops along the border was meant to send a strong message to Pakistan and show India`s determination to address the issue of cross-border terrorism.

Therefore, both statements are true and statement II provides the correct explanation for statement I.
