Benzalacetone is the product of mixed aldol condensation between benzaldehyde $(C_6H_5CHO)$ and acetone $(CH_3COCH_3)$. What is its structure?

Given below are two statements: Statement $I$: The condensation reaction between $CH_{3} - CH = O$ and $H_{2}N - NH - C(=O) - NH_{2}$ under optimum pH will produce $CH_{3} - CH = N - N(H) - C(=O) - NH_{2}$. Statement $II$: The molecule, $Ph - CH(OH)(OCH_{3})$ will generate $Ph - CH = O$ in the presence of dilute acid. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
