Given below are two statements:
Statement I: There are several conformers for n -butane. Out of those conformers,
is the least stable and most stable conformer is
Statement II: As the dihedral angle increases, torsional strain decreases from (X) to $(\mathrm{Y})$.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
