Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): Aldehydes and ketones give nucleophilic addition reaction but acyl derivatives give nucleophilic substitution reaction.
Reason (R): Aldehydes and ketones contain stronger bases and poor leaving groups in comparison to acyl derivatives.
 
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. Both (A) and (R) are False.
