Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$ : Oxidation of $p$-nitrotoluene with acidic $KMnO_4$ gives an acid that is stronger than benzoic acid.
Statement-$II$ : Reduction of $p$-nitrotoluene with $Sn/HCl$ followed by neutralization gives an amine that is more basic than aniline.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • A
    Both Statement-$I$ and Statement-$II$ are correct
  • B
    Both Statement-$I$ and Statement-$II$ are incorrect
  • C
    Statement-$I$ is correct but Statement-$II$ is incorrect
  • D
    Statement-$I$ is incorrect but Statement-$II$ is correct
