Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: The root apical meristem and the shoot apical meristem are responsible for the primary growth of the plants and cause the increase in the girth of the organs in which they are active.
Statement II: In dicotyledonous plants and gymnosperms, the lateral meristems, vascular cambium and cork-cambium principally contribute to the elongation of the plants along their axis.

1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
2. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
3. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect
4. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct

In plants, during growth and development:
I: Turgidity of cells helps in extension growth.
II: Water provides the medium for enzymatic activities needed for growth.
III: Oxygen helps in releasing metabolic energy essential for growth activities.
IV: Nutrients (macro and micro essential elements) are required for the synthesis of protoplasm and act as source of energy.
