Given below are two statements:

Statement I : The boiling point of hydrides of Group 16 elements follow the order \({\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O}>{\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{Te}>{\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{Se}>{\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{S}\).

Statement II : On the basis of molecular mass, \({\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O}\) is expected to have lower boiling point than the other members of the group but due to the presence of extensive H-bonding in \({\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O}\), it has higher boiling point.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
