Sandmeyers reaction is the substitution reaction in which benzene diazonium chloride reacts with CuCl/HCl to form chloro benzene along with N2.

And the reaction of benzene diazonium chloride with CuCl/HCl to form chlorobenzene along with N2 and CuCl as the byproduct is known as the Gattermann reaction.

And the yield of chlorobenzene is more in reaction I than in reaction II as, in reaction II there are more byproducts in it.

Hence, all the statements are correct.

Therefore, option (D) is correct.
