JEE Main 2026 Chemistry question

Given below are two statements: Statement (I): Oxidising power of halogens decreases in the order F₂ > Cl₂ > Br₂ > I₂, which is the basis of "Layer test". Statement (II): "Layer test" to identify Br₂ and I₂ in aqueous solution involves the oxidation of bromide or iodide into Br₂ or I₂ respectively with Cl₂, which is a type of displacement redox reaction. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A)Both Statement I and Statement II are trueCorrect
• (B)Both Statement I and Statement II are false
• (C)Statement I is true but Statement II is false
• (D)Statement I is false but Statement II is true
