The diagram shows a force-extension graph for a rubber band. Consider the following statements

$I.$ It will be easier to compress this rubber than expand it

$II.$ Rubber does not return to its original length after it is stretched

$III.$ The rubber band will get heated if it is stretched and released

Which of these can be deduced from the graph

A

$III$ only

B

$II$ and $III$

C

$I$ and $III$

D

$I$ only
