Given below are two statements:
Statement I: In England, during the Industrial Revolution, the black-colored form of Biston Betularia became dominant over the light-colored form of moth because of natural selection, the darker forms were selected.
Statement II: Prior to the Industrial Revolution, the peppered moths exhibited protective mimicry and the light-colored moths were not noticed by predatory birds due to light-colored lichens on the bark of trees.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
1. Both statement I and statement II are true.
2. Both statement I and statement II are false.
3. Statement I is correct but statement II is false.
4. Statement I is incorrect but statement II is true.
