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