Consider the two statements regarding the photorespiratory pathway:
Statement I:  There is neither synthesis of sugars, nor of ATP.
Statement II: It results in the release of CO2 with the utilisation of ATP. 
 
1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
2. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
3. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect
4. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct
