Option 4) Statement I is false but Statement II is true.

Statement I is incorrect because in the conventional representation of a protein, the N-terminal (amino-terminus) is depicted on the left end and the C-terminal (carboxy-terminus) is depicted on the right end.

Statement II is true. Adult human hemoglobin is indeed composed of four subunits, two of which are α subunits and two of which are β subunits.
