{'photosynthesis': [20, 0, 4, 11], 'meiosis': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'mitosis': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'respiration': [2, 0, 1, 3], 'oxygen': [3, 0, 1, 0], 'organisms': [4, 1, 3, 2], 'plants': [11, 0, 4, 4], 'bacteria': [4, 1, 2, 3]}

The correct answer is option 2, which states that statements 2 and 3 are incorrect. Let`s analyze each option to understand why.

Option 1: "1 and 2" - This means that both statement 1 and statement 2 are incorrect.

Statement 1: "All living organisms require oxygen" - This statement is generally correct because most living organisms do require oxygen for respiration. However, there are some organisms, such as anaerobic bacteria, that can survive without oxygen. Therefore, this statement is not entirely accurate.

Statement 2: "Photosynthesis in plants occurs during the day and respiration occurs at night" - This statement is incorrect. Photosynthesis occurs during the day because it requires sunlight, while respiration occurs continuously, both day and night. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.

Option 2: "2 and 3" - This means that both statement 2 and statement 3 are incorrect.

Statement 2: Already explained above.

Statement 3: "Mitosis occurs in bacteria while meiosis does not" - This statement is incorrect. Bacteria do not undergo mitosis or meiosis like eukaryotic cells. Instead, they undergo a form of cell division called binary fission. Therefore, this
