Given below is the schematic representation of alcohol fermentation. Study the diagram and select the correct statements that follow:

I: Yeasts perform this metabolic conversion when growing in the absence of oxygen.
II: The metabolic conversion of pyruvate into acetaldeyhde is catalysed by the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase.
III: The metabolic conversion of acetaldehyde into ethanol is catalysed by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase.
1. I and II 2. I and III
3. II and III 4. I, II and III

Consider the given statements:
Statement I: In alcohol fermentation in yeast, pyruvic acid decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase convert pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and ethanol.
Statement II: In lactic acid fermentation, lactate dehydrogenase reduces pyruvic acid to lactic acid and carbon dioxide in muscle cells during exercise.
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
3. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
4. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
