Consider the given statements:
Statement I: Both carbon and silicon atoms belong to group 14. Both CO2 and SiO2 are gases and linear molecules.
Statement II: Being electron deficient due to an incomplete octet of the central atom, both BCl3 and AlCl3 behave as Lewis acids.
 
1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct.
2. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect.
3. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect.
4. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct.
