Given below are two statements: Statement I: The covalency of oxygen is generally two but it can exceed upto four. The oxidation state of oxygen in $\displaystyle \mathrm{SO}_2$ is -$\displaystyle 2$ and in $\displaystyle \mathrm{OF}_2$ it is +$\displaystyle 2$ .Statement II: The anomalous behaviour of oxygen when compared to the other elements of group $\displaystyle 16$ is due to its small size and high electronegativity.In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
