Given below are two statements : Statement (I) : Oxidising power of halogens decreases in the order $\displaystyle \mathrm{F}_2>\mathrm{Cl}_2>\mathrm{Br}_2>\mathrm{I}_2$, which is the basis of "Layer test". Statement (II) : "Layer test" to identify $\displaystyle \mathrm{Br}_2$ and $\displaystyle \mathrm{I}_2$ in aqueous solution involves the oxidation of bromide or iodide into $\displaystyle \mathrm{Br}_2$ or $\displaystyle \mathrm{I}_2$ respectively with $\displaystyle \mathrm{Cl}_2$, which is a type of displacement redox reaction. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
