Given below are two statements :
Statement $I$: $[Ni(CN)_4]^{2-}$ is square planar and diamagnetic complex with $dsp^2$ hybridization for $Ni$ but $[Ni(CO)_4]$ is tetrahedral,diamagnetic and with $sp^3$ hybridization for $Ni$.
Statement $II$: $[NiCl_4]^{2-}$ and $[Ni(CO)_4]$ both have same $d$-electron configuration,have same geometry and are paramagnetic.
In light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true.
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false.
