Detailed Solution

In liquid ammonia, the alkali metals dissolve without any hydrogen evolution. The diluted solutions are blue in colour.

Na++(x+y)NH3Na(NH3)x++eNH3y Ammoniated electrons 

Its blue tint turns bronze when heated. The colour and other characteristics are due to an ammoniated electron, not a solvated species of the kind MNH3n+(M=alkali metals).. The solutions have potent reducing characteristics and are effective electrical conductors. The remedies have a paramagnetic composition.
Therefore, both Statements I and II are accurate, but Statement II is not the proper justification for Statement I.
Therefore, choice B is right.
