Given below are two statements: Statement-I : Oxidation of $\displaystyle p$-nitrotoluene with acidic $\displaystyle \mathrm{KMnO}_4$ gives an acid that is stronger than benzoic acid. Statement-II : Reduction of $\displaystyle p$-nitrotoluene with $\displaystyle \mathrm{Sn} / \mathrm{HCl}$ followed by neutralization gives an amine that is more basic than aniline. In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
