Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
Assertion (A): The amount of carbon dioxide that can diffuse through the diffusion membrane per unit difference in partial pressure is much higher compared to that of oxygen.
Reason (R): The solubility of carbon dioxide is 20 – 25 times lower than that of oxygen.
In the 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.
