Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A):  In vaccination, a preparation of antigenic proteins of pathogen or inactivated/weakened pathogen (vaccine) are introduced into the body.
Reason (R):  The vaccines also generate memory – B and T-cells that recognise the pathogen quickly on subsequent exposure and overwhelm the invaders with a massive production of antibodies.
 In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
1.  Both (A) and (R) are false
2.  (A) is true but (R) is false.
3.  Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) does not explain (A).
4.  Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) explains (A).
