Best answer

Answer: 3. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Key idea: group 15 elements form hydrides \(\mathrm{EH_3}\) and oxides \(\mathrm{E_2O_5}\).

  • Statement I is correct: As forms arsine, \(\mathrm{AsH_3}\).
  • Statement II is incorrect: Sb forms antimony pentoxide, \(\mathrm{Sb_2O_5}\) (along with \(\mathrm{Sb_2O_3}\)).

Option (3).
