    Given below are two statements: Statement (I): Blood transfusion is a method in which blood or blood products are transferred from the circulatory system of one person to another. Statement (II): The first blood transfusion was carried out by Karl Landsteiner. In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

    1. ABoth Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true.
    2. BBoth Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false.
    3. CStatement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false.
    4. DStatement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true.
