In the circuit shown in the diagram given below, \(R\) is a small resistor, \(V_i\) is the input voltage between \(A\) & \(B\) while \(V_o\) is the output voltage between \(C\) & \(D\).

Consider the following two statements and mark the correct option.
(I) \(\text{If}~V_i>2~\text{V}, ~\text{then}~V_o = V_i\)
(II) \(\text{If}~V_i<2~\text{V}, ~\text{then}~V_o = 2~\text{V}\)
 
1. (I) is True.
2. (II) is True.
3. (I) and (II) are both True.
4. (I) and (II) are both False.

Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): The resistance of a photodiode decreases when light having photons of sufficient energy is incident on it.
Reason (R): When energetic photons fall on the \(\mathrm{p\text{-}n}\) junction of a photodiode, electron-hole pairs are created due to the breaking of the valence bonds.
 
1. (A) is True but (R) is False.
2. (A) is False but (R) is True.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
4. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
