According to ellingham diagram, any metal oxide with lower \mathrm{\Delta G^{^{\circ}}} is more stable. Hence  Statement I is false.

Statement II says that metal involved in the formation of oxide lower in ellingham diagram can reduce the oxide of a metal placed higher in the diagram, which is correct statement.

Thus, Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect.

Hence option (4) is correct.
