Given below are two statements:
Statement I: In \(\text{C}_3\) plants, some \( \text{O}_2\) binds to \(\text{RuBisCO},\) hence \(\text{CO}_2\) fixation is decreased.
Statement II: In \( \text{C}_4\) plants, mesophyll cells show very little photorespiration while bundle sheath cells do not show photorespiration.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the option given below:
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are False
2. Statement I is True but Statement II is False
3. Statement I is False but Statement II is True
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are True

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): Plants that do not use PEP-carboxylase in primary carbon fixation are called C3 plants.
Reason (R): C3 plants are so called because, the primary carboxylation reaction, catalyzed by RuBisCO, produces the three-carbon 3-phosphoglyceric acids directly in the Calvin-Benson cycle.
 
1. (A) is True but (R) is False
2. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A)
3. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A)
4. (A) is False but (R) is True
