Given below are two statements: Statement I: The boiling point of hydrides of Group 16 elements follow the order H2O > H2Te > H2Se > H2S . Statement II: On the basis of molecular mass, H2O is expected to have lower boiling point than the other members of the group but due to the presence of extensive H-bonding in H2O , it has higher boiling point. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1. A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
2. B. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
3. C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
