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

Assertion (A): In rDNA technology non-recombinants transformed bacteria grow on the medium containing ampicillin as well as medium containing tetracycline 
Reason (R): Recombinant plasmids contain the foreign gene of interest.


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

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