Given below are two statements: 

Assertion (A): H3PO2 is a reducing agent. 
Reason (R): All oxyacids of phosphorus that have P-H bonds act as strong reducing agents. H3PO2 has two P-H bonds hence, it acts as a strong reducing agent.

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.
