Solution

The correct option is C

Statement 2 and statement 3 are correct.


Even though plants are living organisms, they do not have the ability of speech. Therefore, there is no way we can take consent from a plant.
Roots of a plant have major functions of anchoring and absorption of water and minerals from the soil.
Due to the strongly anchored roots and the hardly held stem the, Sam was not able to pull out the plant. It would have been easier if roots did not exist.
