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. Since Sam was pulling the plant away from the ground, he was applying force against gravity. Due to the roots anchoring the plant firmly to the soil and Sam applying force against gravity, he was not able to pull out the plant.
