Physics · GRAVITATION

Given below are two statements: Statement I: The gravitational force is a conservative force, and the work done in moving a mass between two points is independent of the path taken. Statement II: The difference in gravitational potential energy between two points is definite, regardless of the choice of reference point for zero potential energy. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

1. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
3. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
