Given below are two statements: Statement (I): Experimentally determined oxygen-oxygen bond lengths in the are found to be same and the bond length is greater than that of a O=O (double bond) but less than that of a single (OO) bond. Statement (II): The strong lone pair-lone pair repulsion between oxygen atoms is solely responsible for the fact that the bond length in ozone is smaller than that of a double bond (O=O) but more than that of a single bond (OO). In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
