What conclusions can be drawn from the Moll’s half leaf experiment [the given diagram shows the schematic representation of the experiment]?

What can be said after observing the results of the experiment?

I: Negative starch test by the leaf portion present inside the bottle indicates  CO 2 is necessary for this process.
II: Negative test of starch, which is also shown by the portion of the leaf present in between the split of the split cork is due to the lack of  CO 2 and light, thus indicating that both of them are essential requirements.
 
1. Only I 2. Only II
3. Both I and II 4. None

It can be correctly said about the relation between the absorption spectra of various pigments and the action spectrum of photosynthesis that:

1. There is a complete one to one overlap between the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a and the action spectrum of photosynthesis.
2. There is a complete one to one overlap between the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll b and the action spectrum of photosynthesis.
3. The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a is wider than the action spectrum of photosynthesis.
4. The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a is narrower than the action spectrum of photosynthesis.
