Given below are two statements: 
Statement I:  A unit formed by the attachment of a base to 1' position of sugar is known as a nucleoside.
Statement II:  When nucleoside is linked to a phosphorous acid at 5' position of sugar moiety, we get nucleotide.
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1.  Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
2.        Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
3.  Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
4. Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
