Given below are two statements :
Statement I: The number of pairs, from the following, in which both the ions are coloured in aqueous solution is 3:
\( [Sc^{3+}, Ti^{3+}], [Mn^{2+}, Cr^{2+}], [Cu^{2+}, Zn^{2+}] \) and \( [Ni^{2+}, Ti^{4+}] \).
Statement II: \( Th^{4+} \) is the strongest reducing agent among \( Th^{4+}, Ce^{4+}, Gd^{3+} \) and \( Eu^{2+} \).
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

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