In the Z-scheme, transfer of electrons starts from:
1. the PS II uphill to the acceptor, down the electron transport chain to PS I, transferred to another acceptor after excitation, and finally downhill to NADP+  reducing it to NADPH + H+.
2. the PS II downhill to the acceptor, down the electron transport chain to PS I, transferred to another acceptor after excitation, and finally uphill to NADP+  reducing it to NADPH + H+.
3. the PS I uphill to the acceptor, down the electron transport chain to PS II, transferred to another acceptor after excitation, and finally downhill to NADP+  reducing it to NADPH + H+.
4. the PS I downhill to the acceptor, down the electron transport chain to PS II, transferred to another acceptor after excitation, and finally uphill to NADP+  reducing it to NADPH + H+.

 Consider the given two statements:
Statement I:  When only PS I is functional, the electron is circulated within the photosystem and the phosphorylation occurs due to cyclic flow of electrons.
Statement II:  Cyclic photophosphorylation also occurs when only light of wavelengths beyond 680 nm are available for excitation.
 
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
3. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
4. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
