Solution

The correct option is D Statement-I is True, Statement-II is False
Fumaric acid is trans-butenedioic acid and Maleic acid is cis-butenedioic acid. Maleic acid exhibits the intramolecular hydrogen bonding that is not possible in fumaric acid for geometric reasons. these intramolecular hydrogen bonds make it difficult to release hydrogen to act as an acid.

Thus, Statement-I is True, Statement-II is False

Hence, the correct option is $C$
