Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: $A$ buffer solution is the mixture of a salt and an acid or a base mixed in any particular quantities.
Statement $II$: Blood is a naturally occurring buffer solution whose $pH$ is maintained by $H_2CO_3 / HCO_3^{-}$ concentrations.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.
