Given below are two statements. Statement I: Iron (III) catalyst, acidified $\displaystyle \mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7$ and neutral $\displaystyle \mathrm{KMnO}_4$ have the ability to oxidise $\displaystyle \mathrm{I}^{-}$to $\displaystyle \mathrm{I}_2$ independently. Statement II: Manganate ion is paramagnetic in nature and involves $\displaystyle \mathrm{p} \pi-\mathrm{p} \pi$ bonding.In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
