Given below are two statements :
Statement $I$ : Experimentally determined oxygen-oxygen bond lengths in the $O_3$ are found to be same and the bond length is greater than that of a $O=O$ (double bond) but less than that of a single $(O-O)$ bond.
Statement $II$ : The strong lone pair-lone pair repulsion between oxygen atoms is solely responsible for the fact that the bond length in ozone is smaller than that of a double bond $(O=O)$ but more than that of a single bond $(O-O)$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A
  Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
• B
  Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
• C
  Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false
• D
  Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true
