MLE and MME for the exponential rate

If X∼Exp⁡(λ)X\sim\operatorname{Exp}(\lambda), then based on a random sample of size nn from this population, consider the following statements:

I. MLE and MME estimators of λ\lambda are equal to λ^=1xˉ\hat\lambda=\dfrac1{\bar x}.

II. MLE and MME estimators of λ\lambda are equal to λ^=xˉ\hat\lambda=\bar x.

III. MLE and MME of λ\lambda are unequal.

Which of the statements given above is correct?
