    Waterlogging causes injury to crops due to low oxygen content and accumulation of hydrocarbon gases, hydrogen sulphide, and carbon dioxide   Statement II : Ethanol production and activity of dehydrogenase decreases in roots of waterlogged plants In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:   
    A Both Statement I and Statement II are true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both Statement I and Statement II are false Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
