Given below are two statements : Stateme...

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, paramagnetic and with `sp^3` hybridication 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 the above statements, choose the correct answer form the options given below:

A

Both Statement I and Statement II are true.

B

Both Statement I and Statement II are false.

C

Statement I is correct but statement II is false.
