Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: The root hairs are unicellular elongations of the epidermal cells and help absorb water and minerals from the soil.
Statement II: The trichomes in the shoot system are usually multicellular, branched or unbranched, soft or stiff, may even be secretory and help in preventing water loss due to transpiration.

1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
2. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct
3. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
4. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect
