Four identical bulbs are connected to a circuit as shown in the given figure. Due to fluctuations in the voltage, the bulb B₃ blows off.

(A voltmeter measures voltage and it allows almost no current to pass through it.) Now consider the following statements.
I. Reading of the voltmeter V₁, after the blowing off is 20 V.
II. Reading of the voltmeter V₂, after the blowing off is zero.
III. Reading of voltmeter V₁, before the blowing off is 4 V.
IV. Reading of voltmeter V₂, before the blowing off is 5 V.
The incorrect statements are

AII and III only
BI, II and III only
CII, III and IV only
DI and III only.
