    Given below are two statements: Statement I: Griess-Ilosvay test is used for the detection of nitrite ion, which involves the use of sulphanilic acid and α\alpha-naphthylamine reagent. Statement II: In the above test, sulphanilic acid is diazotized by the acidified nitrite ion, which on further coupling with α\alpha-naphthylamine forms an azo-dye. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
