The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Statement I is correct. The second ionization enthalpy of elements generally increases across a period, and for B, Al, and Ga, the second ionization enthalpy follows the order B>Al>Ga.
Statement II is false. The correct order in terms of first ionization enthalpy is Si<Ge<Sn<Pb, not as mentioned in the question. Thus, Statement II is incorrect.
Final Answer: (C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
