Correct answer
ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct.

Step-by-step explanation

and have 2,1 and 5 unpaired electrons respectively, so these are the paramagnetic species. Hence, they are attracted by magnetic field.

and are the diamagnetic species so they are repelled by the magnetic field.
