Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Exudation of water droplets on the tips and edges of plant leaves is called guttation. It is caused by root pressure that forces more water to enter leaves than is transpired
Statement II: Transpiration is a 'pulling' process, hence exploration of the rise of xylem sap by cohesion-tension mechanism begins not with roots but with leaves, where the driving force for transpirational pull begins

I: After plasmolysis, the gap between the cell wall and the cell membrane in a plant cell is filled with hypertonic solution.
II: If a plant cell is placed in a hyotonic solution, the plant cell loses water and hence turgor pressure by plasmolysis.
1. I is correct and II is also correct and II explains I
2. I is correct but II is incorrect
3. I is incorrect and II is incorrect
4. I is incorrect and II is correct
