Given below are two statements :
Statement I : The number of compounds among $\displaystyle \mathrm{SO}_2, \mathrm{SO}_3, \mathrm{SF}_4, \mathrm{SF}_6$ and $\displaystyle \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}$ in which sulphur does not obey the Octet rule is 3.
Statement II : Among $\displaystyle \left[\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{ClF}_3, \mathrm{SF}_4\right],\left[\mathrm{NH}_3, \mathrm{BrF}_5, \mathrm{SF}_4\right],\left[\mathrm{BrF}_5, \mathrm{ClF}_3, \mathrm{XeF}_4\right]$ and $\displaystyle \left[\mathrm{XeF}_4, \mathrm{ClF}_3, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right]$, the number of sets in which all the molecules have one lone pair of electrons on the central atom is 1.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
