Given below are two statements:

Statement I: The forces generated by transpiration can create pressures sufficient to lift a xylem sized column of water over 130 metres high.
Statement II: Transpiration cools leaf surfaces, sometimes 10 to 15 degrees, by evaporative cooling.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
