Given below are two statements :

Statement I : Elements ' $X$ ' and ' $Y$ ' are the most and least electronegative elements, respectively among $\mathrm{N}, \mathrm{As}, \mathrm{Sb}$ and P . The nature of the oxides $\mathrm{X}_2 \mathrm{O}_3$ and $\mathrm{Y}_2 \mathrm{O}_3$ is acidic and amphoteric, respectively.

Statement II : $\mathrm{BCl}_3$ is covalent in nature and gets hydrolysed in water. It produces $\left[\mathrm{B}(\mathrm{OH})_4\right]^{-}$ and $\left[\mathrm{B}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{3+}$ in aqueous medium.

B

$\mathrm{Na}_2\left[\mathrm{~Pb}(\mathrm{OH})_2\right], \mathrm{PbCrO}_4$ and $\left(\mathrm{NH}_4\right)_2\left[\mathrm{~Pb}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COO}\right)_4\right]$

C

$\mathrm{PbCrO}_4, \mathrm{Na}_2\left[\mathrm{~Pb}(\mathrm{OH})_4\right]$ and $\left(\mathrm{NH}_4\right)_2\left[\mathrm{~Pb}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COO}\right)_4\right]$

D

$\mathrm{PbCrO}_4, \mathrm{Na}_2\left[\mathrm{~Pb}(\mathrm{OH})_4\right]$ and $\left[\mathrm{Pb}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_4\right] \mathrm{SO}_4$
