Give below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): In human beings, insulin is synthesized as a pro-hormone which needs to be processed before it becomes fully mature and functional.
Reason (R): The extra stretch of C-peptide is to be removed from A and B peptide chain of insulin.

 
In the light of the above statements, Choose the most appropriate answer from the option given below :

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