Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: $A$ catalyst cannot alter the equilibrium constant $(K_{C})$ of the reaction,temperature remaining constant.
Statement $II$: $A$ homogenous catalyst can change the equilibrium composition of a system,temperature remaining constant.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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