Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): In the absence of an externally applied electric field, the displacement per unit volume of a polar dielectric material is always zero.

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.
