Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding the Davisson-Germer experiment?

Explain the method of the Davisson and Germer experiment and its results.

The wave property of electrons implies that they will show diffraction effects. Davisson and Germer demonstrated this by diffracting electrons from crystals. The law governing the diffraction from a crystal is obtained by requiring that electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in a crystal interfere constructively (see figure).

In the Davisson-Germer experiment,the deflection of the galvanometer is proportional to which quantity?

Given below are two statements :-
Statement $I$ : Davisson-Germer experiment establishes the wave nature of electrons.
Statement $II$ : If electrons have wave nature,they can interfere and show diffraction.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
