Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: Presence of a large number of unpaired electrons in transition metal atoms results in higher enthalpies of their atomisation.
Statement $II$: $d_{xy} = d_{xz} = d_{yz} < d_{x^2-y^2} = d_{z^2}$ and $d_{x^2-y^2} < d_{xy} = d_{xz} = d_{yz}$ are the $d$-orbital splittings in $[Fe(H_2O)_6]^{3+}$ and $[Ni(Cl)_4]^{2-}$ complex ions respectively.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
