Given below are two statements $:$
Statement $(I) :$ Molal depression constant $K_{f}$ is given by $\frac{M_1 R T_f^2}{1000 \Delta H_{\text {fus }}}$,where symbols have their usual meaning. (Note: The provided formula in the prompt was corrected to the standard thermodynamic expression $K_f = \frac{M_1 R T_f^2}{\Delta H_{\text {fus }}}$).
Statement $(II) :$ $K_{f}$ for benzene is less than the $K_{f}$ for water.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below $:$

  • A
    Statement $I$ is incorrect but Statement $II$ is correct
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are incorrect
  • C
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are correct
  • D
    Statement $I$ is correct but Statement $II$ is incorrect
