Given below are two statements: Statement I : The boiling point of hydrides of Group 16 elements follow the order \( \text{H}_2\text{O} > \text{H}_2\text{Te} > \text{H}_2\text{Se} > \text{H}_2\text{S} \). Statement II : On the basis of molecular mass, \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \) is expected to have lower boiling point than the other members of the group but due to the presence of extensive H-bonding in \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \), it has higher boiling point. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1. Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
2. Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
