Electronegativity and Oxide Nature

Given below are two statements :
Statement-I : Element 'X' and 'Y' are the most and least electronegative elements, respectively among N, As, Sb and P. The nature of the oxides X₂O₃ and Y₂O₃ is acidic and amphoteric, respectively.
Statement-II : BCl₃ is covalent in nature and gets hydrolysed in water. It produces [B(OH)₄]^– and [B(H₂O)₆]³⁺in aqueous medium.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
