A bond order of zero means no net bonding between the atoms, indicating the molecule cannot exist or is highly unstable. so the first statement is false

As bond order increases, bond length decreases because stronger bonding pulls the atoms closer together. and also the second statement is false

So the correct answer is (3) Both Statement I and Statement II are false
