Correct answer: A
-
Check Statement I
Aniline reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid first to form anilinium hydrogen sulfate, and on heating at about , rearrangement/sulfonation gives -aminobenzene sulfonic acid (sulphanilic acid).
Now, in Lassaigne's test for sulfur, sodium fusion converts sulfur into sodium sulfide, which with sodium nitroprusside gives a violet/purple color. However, compounds containing both nitrogen and sulfur on fusion can form sodium thiocyanate, and with ferric ion this gives a blood red color due to ferric thiocyanate.
Since sulphanilic acid contains both and , it gives blood red color in Lassaigne's test.
Therefore, Statement I is true.
-
Check Statement II
In Friedel-Crafts alkylation/acylation, aniline does not undergo the reaction normally because the lone pair on nitrogen coordinates with the Lewis acid catalyst to form a salt/complex.
This interaction makes nitrogen positively polarized/effectively positively charged, reducing electron density on the benzene ring. Hence, the group loses its activating effect and behaves as a deactivating group.
Therefore, Statement II is true.

Conclusion
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
