Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
Assertion (A): Cyclic photophosphorylation results in the synthesis of ATP but not of NADPH + H+.
Reason (R): The excited electron does not pass on to NADP+ but is cycled back to the PS I complex through the electron transport chain.
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.
