View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Statement-I is incorrect but statement-II is correct
Statement-I is incorrect because leaching of gold with cyanide in the presence of air/O2 leads to the formation of the Au(I)Au(I) complex, [Au(CN)2]−[Au(CN)_2]^-. Statement-II is correct because zinc is oxidized to Zn2+Zn^{2+} during the displacement reaction.
