The boiling points of the following hydrides :

\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{S}<\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{Se}<\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{Te}<\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}

The boiling points of there hydrides increase with the increase in molar mass from \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{S}  to  

\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{Te}, but due to the presence of H-bonding in \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} and that forms intermolecular

H-bonding which increases the boiling point of \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}

So, statement I is incorrect and statement II is correct

Hence correct options is 3.
