Given below are two statements: 
Assertion A : Boric acid is a weak acid
Reason R : Boric acid is not able to release \(\mathrm{H^+}\) ion on its own. It receives \(\mathrm{OH^-}\) ion from water and releases \(\mathrm{H^+}\) ion.
 
1. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
2. Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
3. A is correct but R is not correct
4. A is not correct but R is correct
