Identify the correct statements about $Z$ in the following reaction sequence:
$C_2H_5NH_2$ $\xrightarrow[NaNO_2 / HCl]{} X$ $\xrightarrow{H_2O} Y$ $\xrightarrow{Cu / 573 \ K} Z$
$I$. $Z$ is an aldehyde
$II$. $Z$ undergoes Cannizzaro reaction
$III$. $Z$ gives iodoform test
$IV$. $Z$ does not give test with Tollens' reagent

Given below are two statements :
Statement $I :$ The nucleophilic addition of sodium hydrogen sulphite to an aldehyde or a ketone involves proton transfer to form a stable ion.
Statement $II :$ The nucleophilic addition of hydrogen cyanide to an aldehyde or a ketone yields amine as final product.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
