Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A):
Plant-animal interactions often involve co-evolution of the mutualists.
Reason (R):
The mutually beneficial system should be safeguarded against ‘cheaters’.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
1.
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) does not explain (A).
2.
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) correctly explains (A).
3.
(A) is true but (R) is false.
4.
