Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: Differentiation in plant cells is an irreversible process, under normal condition, where cells acquire specific structures to perform specialized functions.
Statement II: Dedifferentiation in plants occurs when previously differentiated cells regain the capacity to divide under certain conditions, forming meristematic tissues like cork cambium.
Which of the following is correct?
1. Only Statement I is correct.
2. Only Statement II is correct.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.

Redifferentiation in plants refers to:
1. Meristematic cells developing into specialized tissues.
2. Xylem cells undergoing dedifferentiation to form cambium.
3. Fully mature tissues losing their ability to perform specialized functions.
4. Differentiated cells regaining the ability to divide and specialize again.
