Let $f : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a twice differentiable function such that $f''(x) > 0$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$ and $f'(a-1) = 0$, where $a$ is a real number.

Let $g(x) = f(\tan^2 x - 2 \tan x + a),\ 0 < x < \frac{\pi}{2}$.

Consider the following two statements:

(I) g is increasing in $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{4}\right)$

(II) g is decreasing in $\left(\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$

Then,

A

Both (I) and (II) are True

B

Neither (I) nor (II) is True

C

Only (I) is True

D

Only (II) is True
