Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
 
Assertion (A): The spread of living pteridophytes is limited and restricted to narrow geographical regions.
Reason (R): Evolutionarily, pteridophytes are the first terrestrial plants to possess vascular tissues – xylem and phloem.

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).
