Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): At any point, the rate of photosynthesis will be determined by the factor available at sub-optimal levels.
Reason (R): During photosynthesis, usually one factor affecting CO2 fixation is the major cause that limits its rate.
 
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).
