Given below are two statements
Statement I: The rate of decomposition is not related to chemical composition of detritus and climatic factors.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are True
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are False
3. Statement I is True but Statement II is False

In an ecosystem, if the Net Primary Productivity (NPP) of first trophic level is \(100 x\left(\mathrm{kcal} ~\mathrm{m}^{-2}\right) \mathrm{yr}^{-1},\) what would be the GPP (Gross Primary Productivity) of the third trophic level of the same ecosystem?
1. \(x\left(\mathrm{kcal}~ \mathrm{m}^{-2}\right) y r^{-1}\)
2. \(10 x\left(\mathrm{kcal} ~\mathrm{m}^{-2}\right) \mathrm{yr}^{-1}\)
3. \(\dfrac{100 x}{3 x}\left(\mathrm{kcal} ~\mathrm{m}^{-2}\right) \mathrm{yr}^{-1}\)
4. \(\dfrac{x}{10}\left(\mathrm{kcal} ~\mathrm{m}^{-2}\right) y r^{-1}\)

 Assertion(A): Decomposition process is slower if detritus is rich in lignin and chitin  
Reason(R): Decomposition is largely an oxygen requiring process
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) 
2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) 
3. (A) is true, but (R) is false 
4. (A) is false, but (R) is true
