Lungs do not collapse between breaths and some air always remains in the lungs which can never be expelled because?

1. there is a negative pressure in the lungs
2. there is a negative intrapleural pressure pulling at the lung walls
3. there is a positive intrapleural pressure
4. pressure in the lungs is higher than the atmospheric pressure

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): The part of the respiratory system starting with the external nostrils upto terminal bronchioles constitutes the conducting part, whereas the alveoli from respiratory part.
Reason (R): Conducting part transports the atmospheric air to alveoli, clears it from foreign particles, humidifies it and also brings the air to body temperature.
 
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).
