Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 

Assertion (A): Heterospory in some pteridophytes paved the way for the evolution of seeds in higher plants.
Reason (R): The megaspores and microspores in heterosporous ferns give rise to female and male gametophytes respectively.


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.

Regarding plants exhibiting diplontic life cycle:
1. Gametophyte is the dominant photosynthetically independent phase.
2. The sporophytic stage is represented by the single to few-celled diploid sporophyte.
3. All seed bearing plants follow this pattern with some variations.
4. Most algae follow this type of life cycle.
