Select the correct option based on statements below:
Assertion (A): The resistance of a photodiode decreases when light having photons of sufficient energy is incident on it.
Reason (R): When energetic photons fall on the p-n junction of a photodiode, electron-hole pairs are created due to the breaking of the valence bonds.
 
1. (A) is True but (R) is False.
2. (A) is False but (R) is True.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
4. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
