Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): When resources in the habitat are unlimited, the population grows in an exponential or geometric fashion.
Reason (R): When resources in the habitat are unlimited, each species has the ability to realise its innate potential fully and grow in number.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A)
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A)
3. (A) is True, (R) is False
4. (A) is False, (R) is True
