Statements 1 and 4.
- 1 (oak heights differ by region) could reflect environmental effects (climate, soil, growing season).
- 4 (plants grow taller with the right light and water) directly shows growth changing with environmental conditions.
Statements 2 and 3 point to genetic differences (selective breeding in 2; different grass species in 3), so they are not evidence that the environment is causing the growth differences.
