Given below are two statements :
Statement I: Among $\displaystyle \left.\left[\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_4\right]^{2+},\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{en})_3\right)\right]^{2+},\left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{2+}$ and $\displaystyle \left[\mathrm{Mn}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{2+}$, $\displaystyle \left[\mathrm{Mn}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{2+}$ has the maximum number of unpaired electrons.
Statement II : The number of pairs among $\displaystyle \left\{\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_4\right]^{2-},\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\right]\right\},\left\{\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_4\right]^{2-},\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{2-}\right\}$ and $\displaystyle \left\{\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\right],\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{2-}\right\}$ that contain only diamagnetic species is two.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
