Correct Answer

(C) Both statement \(I\) and statement \(II\) are true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The \(+3\) oxidation state of lanthanide is most stable and therefore lanthanide in \(+4\) oxidation state has strong tendence to gain \(e ^{-}\) and converted into \(+3\) and therefore act as strong oxidizing agent. \(eg Ce ^{+4}\) And there fore \(CeO _{2}\) is used to…
