Statement I: The electronegativity of halogens decreases in the order F > Cl > Br > I.
Statement II: As the atomic radius increases down the group in halogens, the attraction between the nucleus and the outermost electron decreases, leading to a decrease in electronegativity.

1
Both statement I and statement II are false.
2
Statement I is correct but statement II is false.
3
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true.
