Given below are two statements: Statement I: When margins of sepals or petals overlap one another in a particular direction (e.g., in china rose), the aestivation is called valvate. Statement II: In vexillary aestivation, the largest standard petal overlaps the two lateral petals (wings), which in turn overlap the two smallest anterior petals (keel). In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

1. A
   Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
2. B
   Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
3. C
   Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
4. D
   Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
