Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): Growth, at the cellular level, is measured by a variety of parameters, some of which are: increase in fresh weight, dry weight, length, area, volume and cell number.
Reason (R): Growth, at a cellular level, is principally a consequence of an increase in the amount of protoplasm, and increase in protoplasm is difficult to measure directly.
 
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.
