Question

Given below are two statements: Statement I: The number of species among 4 BF ,SiF ,XeF and SF4, that have unequal E–F bond lengths is two. Here, E is the central atom. Statement II: Among 2 2 O ,O ,F and 2 O ,O has the highest bond order. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

(A) Both Statement I and Statement II are false
(B) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
(C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
(D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true
