Step-by-Step Verified Solution
The most appropriate answer is Statement-I is correct but Statement-II is incorrect.
Pure Aniline and other arylamines are usually colorless, which is in agreement with Statement-I. However, Statement-II is incorrect as arylamines do not get colored on storage due to atmospheric reduction. Instead, get coloured on storage due to atmospheric oxidation and become darker in color upon exposure to air.
