Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
Assertion (A): The Bohr effect enables the body to adapt to changing conditions and makes it possible to supply extra oxygen to tissues that need it the most.
Reason (R): A lower pH in strenuously metabolizing tissues promotes the dissociation of oxygen from haemoglobin, and allows the surrounding tissues to obtain enough oxygen to meet their demands.


In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
