Given below are two statements: Statement I: The molar specific heat capacity of all solid elements at room temperature is strictly \( 3R \), with no known exceptions. Statement II: The specific heat capacity of water is completely constant and remains exactly equal to \( 1\text{ cal g}^{-1}{^\circ\text{C}}^{-1} \) over the entire range from \( 0^\circ\text{C} \) to \( 100^\circ\text{C} \). In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

1. A
   Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
2. B
   Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
3. C
   Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
4. D
   Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
