In the light of the below statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Statement I: Acid strength increases in the order given as HF < HCl < HBr < HI.
Statement II: As the size of the elements F, Cl, Br, I increases down the group, the bond strength of HF, HCI, HBr, and HI decreases and so the acid strength increases.
 
1. Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect
2.
Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.

The variation of the boiling point of the hydrogen halides is in the order HF > HI > HBr > HCl. 
The higher boiling point of hydrogen fluoride is explained as:

1. The electronegativity of flourine is much higher than other elements in group
2. There is strong hydrogen bonding between HF molecules
3. The bond energy of HF molecules is greater than in other hydrogen halides
4. The effect of nuclear shielding is much reduced in flourine which polarizes the HF molecule
