Select the option which is not correct with respect to enzyme action:
1. Substrate binds with enzyme at its active site.
2. Addition of a lot of succinate does not reverse the inhibition of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate.
3. A non-competitive inhibitor binds the enzyme at a site distinct from that which binds the substrate.
4. Malonate is a competitive inhibitor of succinic dehydrogenase.

Consider the given two statements:

I:  In competitive enzyme inhibition, the substrate and inhibitor cannot bind to the enzyme at the same time.
II: The inhibitor always has a much higher affinity for the active site than the normal substrate.
 
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
