Select the correct statements based on the information shown below in the diagrammatic representation of location of root apical meristem, shoot apical meristem and vascular cambium where the arrows exhibit the direction of growth of cells and organs:

Statement I: The root apical meristem and the shoot apical meristem are responsible for the primary growth of the plants and principally contribute to the elongation of the plants along their axis.
Statement II: In dicots and gymnosperms, the lateral meristems, vascular cambium and cork-cambium appear later in life and cause the increase in the girth of the organs in which they are active.
1. Both Statement I and Statement II
2. Only Statement I
3. Only Statement II
4. Neither Statement I nor Statement II

Identify the correct statements regarding auxins?
I: Auxin stimulates cell elongation by stimulating wall-loosening factors, such as expansins, to loosen cell walls.
II: When auxin and cytokinin are applied to callus, rooting can be generated with higher auxin to cytokinin ratios, shoot growth is induced by lower auxin to cytokinin ratios.
III: Auxin induces the formation and organization of phloem and xylem.
IV: In low concentrations, auxin can inhibit ethylene formation and transport of precursor in plants; however, high concentrations can induce the synthesis of ethylene.
