In which of the following sets is the sum of bond orders of the three species maximum?

After understanding the assertion and reason, choose the correct option.
Assertion : In the bonding molecular orbital $(MO)$ of $H_2,$ electron density is increased between the nuclei.
Reason : The bonding $MO$ is $\psi_A + \psi_B,$ which shows destructive interference of the combining electron waves.

Which of the following electronic configurations is correct for the given species?

The wave functions of $1s$-orbitals of two hydrogen atoms are $\psi_A$ and $\psi_B$. $\psi_A$ and $\psi_B$ are linearly combined to form two molecular orbitals ($\sigma$ and $\sigma^*$). Which of the following statements are correct?
$I$. $\sigma^*$ is equal to $(\psi_A - \psi_B)$.
$II$. In $\sigma$-orbital,one nodal plane is present in between two nuclei.
$III$. The energy of $\sigma$-orbital is lower than the energy of $\sigma^*$-orbital.
