$(I)\,[Kr]\,5s^1$ $(II)\, [Rn]\,5f^{14}\,6d^1\,7s^2$
$(III)\,[Ar]\,3d^{10}\,4s^2\,4p^5$ $(IV)\,[Ar]\,3d^6\,4s^2$
Consider the following Statements
$(i)\, I$ shows variable oxidation State
$(ii)\, II$ is a $d-block$ element
$(iii)$ The compound formed between $I$ and $III$ is covalent
$(iv)\,IV$ shows single oxidation state
Which Statement is True $(T)$ or False $(F)$?

Assertion $(A)$ : $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ reaction of $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Br}$ occurs more readily than the $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ reaction of $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Br}$.
Reason $(R)$ : The partially bonded unhybridized p-orbital that develops in the trigonal bipyramidal transition state is stabilized by conjugation with the phenyl ring.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
