In the circuit shown in the diagram given below, \(R\) is a small resistor, \(V_i\) is the input voltage between \(A\) & \(B\) while \(V_o\) is the output voltage between \(C\) & \(D\).

Consider the following two statements and mark the correct option.
(I) \(\text{If}~V_i>2~\text{V}, ~\text{then}~V_o = V_i\)
(II) \(\text{If}~V_i<2~\text{V}, ~\text{then}~V_o = 2~\text{V}\)
 
1. (I) is True.
2. (II) is True.
3. (I) and (II) are both True.
4. (I) and (II) are both False.

The dynamic resistance of a diode is given by; \(R=\dfrac{26}{i(\text{mA})}~\Omega,\) where \(i\) is the diode current.
Statement I: If the current through the diode increases, then the dynamic resistance decreases.
Statement II: If the temperature of the diode is increased, with the potential difference fixed, the dynamic resistance decreases.
 
1. Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
4. Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect.
