Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): It is necessary to define the boundaries that would demarcate the region and the strand of DNA that would be transcribed.
Reason (R): Unlike replication, the principle of complementarity does not govern the process of transcription.      
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. (A) is True but (R) is False.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.
