Given below are two statements: Statement I : Amino acids have a property of ionizable nature of $-$NH2 and $-$COOH groups, hence have different structures at different pH. Statement-II : Amino acids can exist as Zwitterionic form at acidic and basic pH. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
