How can aniline be purified?

The order of basic strength of methyl substituted amines and $NH_3$ in aqueous solution is

Assertion : Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction.
Reason : $-NH_2$ group of aniline reacts with $AlCl_3$ (Lewis acid) to give acid-base reaction.

In the following reaction,the reason why the meta-nitro product is also formed is:

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: Benzenediazonium salt is prepared by the reaction of aniline with nitrous acid at $273-278 \ K$. It decomposes easily in the dry state.
Statement $II$: Insertion of iodine into the benzene ring is difficult and hence iodobenzene is prepared through the reaction of benzenediazonium salt with $KI$. In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
