Given below are two statements : 
Statement I: In the lac operon, the z gene codes beta-galactosidase which is primary responsible for the hydrolysis of lactose into galactose and glucose.
Statement II: In addition of lactose, glucose or galactose can also induce lac operon.
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. Statement I is True but Statement II is False 
2. Statement I is False but Statement II is True 
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are True 
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are False
