is oxidising and is reducing in nature.
Statement II:
compounds are repelled by the applied magnetic field.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- CStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
