Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Bohr's theory accounts for the stability and line spectrum of Li²? ion.
Statement II: Bohr's theory was unable to explain the splitting of spectral lines in the presence of a magnetic field.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Option 1 - <p>Both statement I and statement II are true</p>
Option 2 - <p>Statement I is true but statement II is false.<br>&lt;!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;<br>&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;</p>
