Let $𝐴$ be an $𝑛 × 𝑛$ real matrix. Consider the following statements.

$(I)$ If $𝐴$ is symmetric, then there exists $𝑐 ≥ 0$ such that $𝐴 + 𝑐𝐼_𝑛$ is symmetric and positive definite, where $𝐼_𝑛$ is the $𝑛 × 𝑛$ identity matrix

$(II)$ If $𝐴$ is symmetric and positive definite, then there exists a symmetric and positive definite matrix $𝐵$ such that $𝐴 = 𝐵^2$ .

(A) Only (I)

(B) Only (II)
