Given below are two statements:

Statement I : p−np-np−n junction diodes can be used to function as a transistor, simply by connecting two diodes, back to back, which acts as the base terminal

Statement II: In the study of transistors, the amplification factor β\betaβ indicates ratio of the collector current to the base current.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
