Assertion(A): Egrets always forage close to cattle.
Reason(R): They depend on cattle's movement by which soil insects get stirred up & flushed out and egrets get their food (soil insects) easily.

Choices for Assertions and reasons:
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. (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Assertion (A): Ability to maintain a constant internal environment enhances the overall ‘fitness’ of the species.
Reason (R): A constant internal environment permits all biochemical reactions and physiological functions to proceed with maximal efficiency.
 In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
1. (A) is true but (R) is false.
