Given the following statements about activities in the early earth:
I: Water vapour, methane, carbon dioxide, and ammonia released from molten mass covered the surface. 
II: The UV rays from the sun broke up water into Hydrogen and Oxygen and the lighter H2 escaped.
III: Oxygen combined with ammonia and methane to form water, CO2, and other gases.
IV: As it cooled, the water vapour fell as rain, filling all the depressions and forming oceans.
Select the correct statements:
1. Only I, II and III are correct
2. Only I, II and IV are correct
