Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Primary aliphatic amines react with HNO 2 to give unstable diazonium salts.
Statement II: Primary aromatic amines react with HNO 2 to form diazonium salts which are stable even above 300 K.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Primary aliphatic amines react with HNO 2 and give unstable diazonium salt which turns into alcohol.
Primary aromatic amines reacts with HNO 2 and yields stable diazonium salt which are stable at 273 to 278 K due to resonanace stabilisation of aromatic ring, but at higher temperature, they are unstable.
