Benzene resists addition reactions because that would involve breaking the delocalisation and losing that stability.
An alkylbenzene is simply a benzene ring with an alkyl group attached to it. ... Alkyl groups are usually fairly resistant to oxidation. However, when they are attached to a benzene ring, they are easily oxidised by an alkaline solution of potassium manganate($VII$) (potassium permanganate).

Statement $I$: The boiling point of hydrides of Group $16$ elements follow the order
$\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Te}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Se}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}$.
Statement $II$: On the basis of molecular mass, $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ is expected to have lower boiling point than the othe members of the group but due to the presence of extensive $\mathrm{H}$-bonding in $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$, it has higher boiling point.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
