Assertion(A): The direction of movement in the phloem can be upwards or downwards.
Reason(R): The source will always be leaf and the sink will be other plant parts.
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true, but (R) is false.
4. (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Consider the two given statements regarding mass or bulk flow in plants:

Statement I: It is a characteristic of mass flow that substances, whether in solution or in suspension, are swept along at the same pace.
Statement II: Bulk flow can be achieved only through a negative hydrostatic pressure gradient.

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
