Statement I: The root apical meristem and the shoot apical meristem are responsible for the primary growth of the plants and principally contribute to the elongation of the plants along their axis.
Statement II: In dicots and gymnosperms, the lateral meristems, vascular cambium and cork-cambium appear later in life and cause the increase in the girth of the organs in which they are active.
1. Both Statement I and Statement II
2. Only Statement I
3. Only Statement II
4. Neither Statement I nor Statement II

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
