Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: $[CoBr_{4}]^{2-}$ ion will absorb light of lower energy than $[CoCl_{4}]^{2-}$ ion.
Statement $II$: In $[CoI_{4}]^{2-}$ ion, the energy separation between the two sets of $d$-orbitals is more than $[CoCl_{4}]^{2-}$ ion.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A
  Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false
• B
  Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
• C
  Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true
