I. Growth in plants occurs by cell division and cell enlargement, followed by cell differentiation.
II. Growth in plants is generally limited to regions of growing points known as meristems.

1. Both are correct and II explains I

2. Both are correct but II does not explain I

3. I is correct but II is incorrect
