The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Statement I: Number of d and f electrons increases down the group and due to poor shielding of d and f electrons, stability of lower oxidation states increases down the group.

Statement II: The atomic size of aluminium is greater than that of gallium. Thus, Statement I is correct, but Statement II is incorrect.
