Dipole moment is a vector quantity and by convention it is depicted by a small arrow with tail
on positive centre and head pointing towards the negative centre. Hence statement-I is incorrect. The crossed arrow symbolises the direction of the shift of electron density (charges) in the molecule hence, statement-II is correct.
