Which is set of paramagnetic molecules or ions
Given below are two statements:

Statement $I:$ The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are higher than hydrocarbons of comparable molecular masses because of weak molecular association in aldehydes and ketones due to dipole - dipole interactions.

Statement $II:$ The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are lower than the alcohols of similar molecular masses due to the absence of $H$-bonding.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
