Correct Answer - Option 3 : Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) false 

Concept:

Quenching is the rapid cooling of a workpiece in water, oil or air after heating the material to a certain temperature (depending on the material) to obtain certain material properties.

Quenching is slow in oils but quenching metal in oil is the most popular method because it diminishes risk of cracking and warping.

Fastest cooling is provided by salt solutions as they suppress the bubble formation on the metal surface. Also the salts does not affect the crack appearance and properties of metals.
