Retirement tax questions

Hi, the company I work for got bought by another and I had to rollover my current 401K into the new employers. For this I got two 1099-R forms. I'm thinking one is for my 401K and one is for my 401K Roth because I'd split it into two. On the first form the Box 7 Distribution code is G. On the second on the Box 7 is BG. 

My question is what do I enter for this part?

Did you move this money from a 401(k) to a Roth 401(k)?

Yes, I moved the money to a Roth 401(k), Roth 403(b), or a 457(b) plan
No, I didn’t


To be clear, my 401K money will go to a 401K account and my 401K Roth money will be going to a 401K Roth part of the account.

Secondly, what do I put here?
