Assertion (A): Chief photosynthetic pigment is chlorophyll a but plants evolved some other pigments also.
Reason (R): Photosynthetic efficiency is increased due to absorptions of variety of wavelengths.
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.
