Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): In most cases, recombinant therapeutics are safer than similar products isolated from non-human sources.
Reason (R): Recombinant therapeutics do not induce unwanted immunological responses.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. (A) is true but (R) is false.
