Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The boiling points of the following hydrides of group 16 elements increases in the order: H₂O < H₂S < H₂Se < H₂Te.
Statement II: The boiling points of these hydrides increase with increase in molar mass.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
