Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: Repeated activation of the muscles can lead to fatigue.
Statement II: Repeated activation of the muscles can lead to the accumulation of lactic acid due to anaerobic breakdown of glycogen in them.
 
1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
2. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
3. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct
4. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect
