Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: The contact angle between a solid and a liquid is a property of the material of the solid and liquid as well.
Statement $II$: The rise of a liquid in a capillary tube does not depend on the inner radius of the tube.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ capillary tube of radius $0.1 \,mm$ is dipped in water. The water rises to a height of $2 \,cm$ in the tube. If the surface tension of water is $0.072 \,N/m$, the contact angle between water and the wall of the tube is:

Two capillary tubes $P$ and $Q$ are dipped in water. The height of the water level in capillary $P$ is $2/3$ of the height in capillary $Q$. The ratio of their diameters is:

Water rises to a height of $10 \ cm$ in a certain capillary tube. Another identical tube when dipped in mercury,the level of mercury is depressed by $3.42 \ cm$. The density of mercury is $13.6 \ g/cc$. The angle of contact for water in contact with glass is $0^o$ and for mercury in contact with glass is $135^o$. The ratio of the surface tension of water to that of $Hg$ is:

The correct curve between the height or depression $h$ of liquid in a capillary tube and its radius $r$ is
