Given below are two statements :
Statement I: Presence of large number of unpaired electrons in transition metal atoms results in higher enthalpies of their atomisation.
Statement II: \(d_{xy} = d_{xz} = d_{yz} < d_{x^2-y^2} = d_{z^2}\) and \(d_{x^2-y^2} = d_{z^2} < d_{xy} = d_{xz} = d_{yz}\) are the d-orbital splittings in \([Fe(H_2O)_6]^{3+}\) and \([Ni(Cl)_4]^{2-}\) complex ions respectively.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

1. A Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
2. B Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
3. C Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
4. D Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
