Given below are two statements: Statement I: (CH₃)₃ C is more stable than C H₃ as nine hyperconjugation interactions are possible in (CH₃)₃ C. Statement II: C H₃ is less stable than (CH₃)₃ C as only three hyperconjugation interactions are possible in C H₃. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

(A) Statement I is true but Statement II is false

(B) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

(C) Statement I is false but Statement II is true

\overset{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}}\mathrm{H_3}

as nine hyperconjugation interactions are possible in

(\mathrm{CH_3})_3\overset{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}}

. Statement II:

\overset{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}}\mathrm{H_3}

is less stable than

(\mathrm{CH_3})_3\overset{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}}

as only three hyperconjugation interactions are possible in

\overset{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}}\mathrm{H_3}

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