Properties of Group 16 Hydrides

Given below are two statements: Statement I: The boiling point of hydrides of Group 16 elements follow the order H2OH_{2}O > H2TeH_{2}Te > H2SeH_{2}Se > H2SH_{2}S Statement II: On the basis of molecules mass, H2OH_{2}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 H2OH_{2}O. It has higher boiling point. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
