Consider the following two statements:

I. The direction of movement in the phloem is bi-directional.

II. The source-sink relationship in plants is variable.

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

4. Both I and II are incorrect

Assertion(A): Food in phloem sap can be transported in any required direction so long as there is a source of sugar and a sink able to use that food.
Reason(R): The source-sink relationship is variable depending on physical and physiological conditions of the plant.
Choices for Assertions and reasons:
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
