The correct answer is Option 2- Both I and II

The correct answer is Both I and II.

Sangam literature is a collection of Tamil poems that were composed and compiled in assemblies of poets in the city of Madurai. The assemblies were held under the patronage of the Pandya kings.

The Sangam poems are divided into two main categories: Ettuthogai (Eight Anthologies) and Pattuppattu (Ten Long Poems). The Ettuthogai consists of eight anthologies of poems that deal with a variety of topics, including love, war, and morality. The Pattuppattu consists of ten long poems that describe the life and times of the ancient Tamils.

The Sangam poems are a valuable source of information about the culture, society, and history of the ancient Tamils. They provide insights into the Tamils' way of life, their beliefs, and their customs.
