Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A):  We generally undervalue the magnitude of ecosystem services that benefits us.
Reason (R):  We do not attach a monetary value to the services of natural ecosystems.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate 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.  Both (A) and (R) are false.

  1. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
  2. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
  3. If the assertion is true but the reason is false
