Given below are two statements:

Statement I: The acidic strength of monosubstituted nitrophenol is higher than that of phenol because of the electron-withdrawing nitro group.

Statement II: o-Nitrophenol, m-nitrophenol and p-nitrophenol will have the same acidic strength as they have one nitro group attached to the phenolic ring.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
