Given below are four statements pertaining to the separation of DNA fragments using Gel electrophoresis. Identify the correct statements:
a: DNA fragments are negatively charged molecules and can be separated by forcing them to move towards the anode under an electric field through a medium/matrix.
b: The separation of DNA fragments is possible because they differ in size.
c: Smaller the size of the DNA fragment, shorter the distance it travels through agarose gel.
d: Pure DNA can be visualized directly by exposing it to UV radiation without any staining.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. Only (c) and (d)
2. Only (a) and (c)
3. Only (b) and (c) 
4. Only (a) and (b)
