Given below are two statements:

Statement I: In a diatomic molecule, the rotational energy at a given temperature obeys Maxwell's distribution.

Statement II : In a diatomic molecule, the rotational energy at a given temperature equals the translational kinetic energy for each molecule.

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

• A

  Statement $\mathrm{I}$ is false but Statement $\mathrm{II}$ is true.
• Correct answer
  B

  Statement $\mathrm{I}$ is true but Statement $\mathrm{II}$ is false.
• C

  Both Statement $\mathrm{I}$ and Statement $\mathrm{II}$ are true.
• D

  Both Statement $\mathrm{I}$ and Statement $\mathrm{II}$ are false.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
