Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): Ionisation enthalpies of early actinoids are lower than for early lanthanoids.
Reason (R): Electrons are entering 5f orbitals in actinoids which experience greater shielding from nuclear charge.
 
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.
