Assertion(A): Symplastic movement is slower than apoplastic movement.
Reason(R): During symplastic movement, the water has to enter the cells through the cell membrane.
Choices for Assertions and reasons:
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. (A) is false, but (R) is true.
