Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): After death, the body muscles get stiff as a state of partial contraction of muscles.
Reason (R): Attachment of the myosin head to unexposed sites on actin can take place partially.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
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.
