Let X=R×RX=\mathbf{R} \times \mathbf{R}X=R×R. Define a relation RRR on XXX as : (a1,b1)R(a2,b2)⇔b1=b2\left(a_1, b_1\right) R\left(a_2, b_2\right) \Leftrightarrow b_1=b_2(a1​,b1​)R(a2​,b2​)⇔b1​=b2​ Statement I : R\quad \mathrm{R}R is an equivalence relation. Statement II : For some (a,b)∈X(a, b) \in X(a,b)∈X, the set S={(x,y)∈X:(x,y)R(a,b)}S=\{(x, y) \in X:(x, y) R(a, b)\}S={(x,y)∈X:(x,y)R(a,b)} represents a line parallel to y=xy=xy=x. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
