Statement I : Sodium hydride can be used as an oxidising agent.

Statement II : The lone pair of electrons on nitrogen in pyridine makes it basic.

Choose the CORRECT answer from the options given below :

  • A
    Both statement I and statement II are false
  • B
    Statement I is true but statement II is false
  • Correct answer
    C
