Given below are two statements : Statement I : Aniline reacts with con. $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$, followed by heating at $453-473 \mathrm{~K}$ gives $\mathrm{p}$-aminobenzene sulphonic acid, which gives blood red colour in the 'Lassaigne's test'. Statement II : In Friedel - Craft's alkylation and acylation reactions, aniline forms salt with the $\mathrm{AlCl}_3$ catalyst. Due to this, nitrogen of aniline aquires a positive charge and acts as deactivating group. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
