Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): HNO3 acts as an oxidizing agent.
Reason (R):

The oxidation state of nitrogen in HNO₃ is +5, which cannot increase further. Thus, the oxidation state of nitrogen in HNO₃ can only decrease.

In 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).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.
