Consider the given two statements:
| Assertion (A): | C4 plants are more efficient than C3 plants in hot, dry tropical environments. |
| Reason (R): | C4 plants have a specialized mechanism that increases the efficiency of photosynthesis by concentrating CO2 in bundle sheath cells, reducing photorespiration. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
| 3. | (A) is True; (R) is False |
