Statement I: Alkali metals dissolve in liquid ammonia to give blue solutions.
Statement II: Alkali metals in liquid ammonia give solvated species of the type `[M(NH_(3))_(n)]^(o+)` (M = alkali metals).

A

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement-1.

B

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for statement-1.

C

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.

D

Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.
