The difference in the effect of increasing carbon dioxide concentration on C3 and C4 plants is that:
1. C3 plants show a higher rate of photosynthesis than C4 plants at low CO2 concentration
2. C3 plants show a higher rate of photosynthesis than C4 plants at high CO2 concentration
3. C3 plants' photosynthesis rate decreases at higher CO2 concentrations, unlike C4 plants
4. C4 plants are more efficient in photosynthesis at lower CO2 concentrations

Consider the two statements:
I: Current availability of carbon dioxide levels is limiting to the C4 plants.
II: C3 plants have a much lower temperature optimum than C4 plants.
 
1. Only I is correct 2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct 4. Both I and II are incorrect
