Given below are two statements :
Statement I: Presence of large number of unpaired electrons in transition metal atoms results in higher enthalpies of their atomisation.
Statement II: $\mathrm{d}_{x y}=\mathrm{d}_{x z}=\mathrm{d}_{y z}<\mathrm{d}_{x^2-y^2}=\mathrm{d}_{z^2}$ and $\mathrm{d}_{x^2-y^2}=\mathrm{d}_{z^2}<\mathrm{d}_{x y}=\mathrm{d}_{x z}=\mathrm{d}_{y z}$ are the d-orbital splittings in $\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{3+}$ and $\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{Cl})_4\right]^{2-}$ complex ions respectively.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Select the correct option:
A
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
B
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
