Given below are two statements: Statement I:Aluminium is more electropositive than thallium as the standard electrode potential value of $\displaystyle \mathrm{E}^{\circ}{ }_{\mathrm{Al}^{3+} / \mathrm{Al}}$ is negative and $\displaystyle \mathrm{E}^{\circ}{ }_{\mathrm{Tl}^{3+} / \mathrm{Tl}}$ is positive.Statement II: The sum of first three ionization enthalpies of boron is very high when compared to that of aluminium. Due to this reason boron forms covalent compounds only and aluminium forms $\displaystyle \mathrm{Al}^{3+}$ ion.In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
