Given below are two statements: 
Statement I: Sewage discharge in a flowing river causes an increase in biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) due to the biodegradation of organic matter by microbes. This leads to the mortality of fish and other aquatic creatures 
Statement II: Sewage discharge in a flowing river causes a sharp decline in dissolved oxygen (DO) downstream from point of discharge due to increased consumption of DO by microbes. This leads to the mortality of fish and other aquatic creatures 
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below 
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct 
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect 
3. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect 
4. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
