Given below are two statements :\nStatement(I) : Experimentally determined oxygen-oxygen bond lengths in the O3_3 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 (O - O) bond.\nStatement (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 (O – O).\nIn the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
