Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Sewage discharge in a flowing river causes a decrease in biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) due to biodegradation of organic matter by microbes. This leads to the mortality of fish and other aquatic creatures.
Statement II: Sewage discharge in a flowing river causes a sharp increase in dissolved oxygen (DO) downstream from point of discharge due to increased consumption of DO by microbes. This leads to the mortality of fish and other aquatic creatures.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
1.  Both statement I and statement II are true
2.  Both statement I and statement II are false
3.  Statement I is correct but statement II is false
4.  Statement I is incorrect but statement II is true
