Water vapour comes out from the plant leaf through the stomatal opening. Through the same stomatal opening, carbon dioxide diffuses into the plant during photosynthesis. Reason out the above statements using one of the following options.

1. Both process can happen together because the diffusion coefficients of water and CO2 are different.
2. The above processes happen only during night time
3. One process occurs during the day time and the other occurs at night
4. Both processes cannot happen simultaneously
