Given below are two statements : Statement I: There are several conformers for n-butane. Out of those conformers, [Diagram: Newman projection for n-butane, showing staggered conformation (X)] is the least stable and most stable conformer is [Diagram: Newman projection for n-butane, showing eclipsed conformation (Y)] Statement II: As the dihedral angle increases, torsional strain decreases from (X) to (Y). In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
