| 1. | \(0^\circ C - 100^\circ C\) | 2. | \(15^\circ C - 20^\circ C\) |
| 3. | \(28^\circ C - 30^\circ C\) | 4. | Greater than \(45^\circ C\) |
Consider the given diagram and select the correct inference:
| 1. | Both leaves have shown different absolute growths |
| 2. | First leaf has exhibited growth but second leaf has not as it is already senescent |
| 3. | The relative growth of first leaf is more than that of the second leaf |
| 4. | Both leaves have exhibited equal relative growths |
