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
