Solution

The question seems to be incomplete as there are no options provided. However, I can explain the statements.

Statement-I: Haloarenes are deactivated for electrophilic substitution reactions. This is true. In haloarenes, the halogen atom is directly attached to the sp2 hybridized carbon of the aromatic ring. The halogen atom is more electronegative and pulls the electron density towards itself, making the ring less electron-rich and hence less reactive towards electrophilic substitution reactions.

Statement-II: Haloalkanes are reactive for electrophilic substitution reactions. This is generally false. Haloalkanes are not typically reactive towards electrophilic substitution reactions. They are more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions because the carbon-halogen bond is polarized with a partial positive charge on the carbon, making it susceptible to attack by nucleophiles.

Please provide the options for a more accurate answer.
