Solution

The correct option is B Statement - I & II are correct, Statement - II is not correct explanation of Statement - I
Wurtz reaction:
$R X + 2 N a + X R \to R - R + 2 N a X$
So according to this reaction, here ethane, propane and butane forms as product.
In this reaction sodium act as reducing agent.
