Correct answer: D. Both the statements I and II are correct

In steam-methane reforming, methane reacts with steam under $3 – 25bar$ pressure in the presence of a nickel catalyst to produce hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and a relatively small amount of carbon dioxide. Steam reforming is endothermic, that is, heat must be supplied to the process for the reaction to proceed.

${NaNO}_{2} + {NH}_{4}Cl\overset{∆}{\to}{N}_{2} + NaCl + {H}_{2}O$

as ${NH}_{4}{NO}_{2}\overset{∆}{\to}{N}_{2} + {H}_{2}O$

Hence, both the statements are correct.
