A Correct answer
Explanation

The verb 'charge' works in both contexts with different meanings. In sentence I, 'charge the man with assault' is a legal term meaning to formally accuse someone of a crime. In sentence II, 'charge for the consultancy work' means to set or request a price/payment for services rendered. Both uses represent standard, idiomatic English.
