Tapetum :
I. | Is a layer of nutritive cells that are found within the microsporangium. |
II. | The cells are usually bigger and normally have more than one nucleus per cell because mitosis is not normal in them. |

Of the above statements, the correct ones are:
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II, and III |
