If $Q$ denotes the set of all rational numbers and $f\left(\frac{p}{q}\right)=\sqrt{p^2-q^2}$ for any $\frac{p}{q} \in Q$, then observe the following statements.
$I$. $f\left(\frac{p}{q}\right)$ is real for each $\frac{p}{q} \in Q$.
$II$. $f\left(\frac{p}{q}\right)$ is a complex number for each $\frac{p}{q} \in Q$.
Which of the following is correct?

• A
  Both $I$ and $II$ are true
• B
  $I$ is true, $II$ is false
• C
  $I$ is false, $II$ is true
• D
  Both $I$ and $II$ are false
