Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: The boiling point of hydrides of Group $16$ elements follows the order
$H_2O > H_2Te > H_2Se > H_2S$.
Statement $II$: On the basis of molecular mass,$H_2O$ is expected to have a lower boiling point than the other members of the group,but due to the presence of extensive $H$-bonding in $H_2O$,it has a higher boiling point.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false
  • B

  • C
    Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true
  • D
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
