Consider the following statements:
 

I: Hairy leaves are associated with resistance to jassids in cotton and cereal leaf beetle in wheat.
II: Low aspartic acid, high nitrogen, and sugar content in maize leads to resistance to maize stem borers.

Which of the above statements are true?

1. I and II only

2. I and III only
