Given below are two statements :

Statement I : Pressure of a fluid is exerted only on a solid surface in contact as the fluid-pressure does not exist everywhere in a still fluid.

Statement II : Excess potential energy of the molecules on the surface of a liquid, when compared to interior, results in surface tension.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

A

Statement I is false but Statement II is true

B

Statement I is true but Statement II is false

C

Both Statement I and Statement II are false

D

Surface tension of two liquids (having same densities), $T_1$ and $T_2$, are measured using capillary rise method utilizing two tubes with inner radii of $r_1$ and $r_2$ where $r_1 > r_2$. The measured liquid heights in these tubes are $h_1$ and $h_2$ respectively. [Ignore the weight of the liquid above the lowest point of miniscus]. The heights $h_1$ and $h_2$ and surface tensions $T_1$ and $T_2$ satisfy the relation :

A

$h_1 > h_2$ and $T_1 = T_2$

B

$h_1 < h_2$ and $T_1 = T_2$

C

$h_1 > h_2$ and $T_1 < T_2$

D

$h_1 = h_2$ and $T_1 = T_2$
