Analyze the following statements that deal with the relationship between modernity, race, and coloniality in decolonial thought:

I. According to decolonial thought, the notion of 'race' has served as an organizing principle for the multiple hierarchies present in the capitalist world-system, being a typical mental category of modernity.
II. The notion of 'race' has been fundamental for the symbolic construction of the figures of the 'colonizer' and the 'colonized', initially based on phenotypic - but also cultural - differences between them, and later extrapolated as a biological and ontological difference of an absolute nature, to be mobilized in a (re)classification of the entire global population.
a) Statement I is true and statement II is false.
b) Statement I is false and statement II is true.
c) Both statements I and II are true, and statement II is a correct justification of statement I.
d) Both statements I and II are false.
