Bias and unbiasedness of e2Xˉe^{2\bar X}

Let x1,x2,…,xnx_1,x_2,\dots,x_n be a random sample from N(θ,σ2)N(\theta,\sigma^{2}) distribution, σ2\sigma^{2} is known, θ\theta is unknown. Which of the following statements is/are correct?

I. The MLE of e2θe^{2\theta} is e2xˉe^{2\bar x} with bias e2σ2n−1e^{\frac{2\sigma^2}{n}}-1.

II. An unbiased estimator of e2θe^{2\theta} is e2xˉ−2σ2ne^{2\bar x-\frac{2\sigma^2}{n}}.
