p-Block Elements: JEE Main 2026 Chemistry question

Given below are two statements: Statement I: Aluminium is more electropositive than thallium as the standard electrode potential value of $E^\circ_{\mathrm{Al^{3+}/Al}}$ is negative and $E^\circ_{\mathrm{Tl^{3+}/Tl}}$ is positive. Statement II: The sum of first three ionization enthalpies of boron is very high when compared to that of aluminium. Due to this reason boron forms covalent compounds only and aluminium forms $\mathrm{Al^{3+}}$ ion. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
