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

Assertion (A):  The growth of the multicellular organism is due to mitosis 
Reason (R):  Mitosis is also called as equational division and it offers genetic stability 

 
In light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below: 

1. (A) is True but (R) is False.
2. (A) is False but (R) is True.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
4. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
