Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): A charge moving in a circular orbit can produce an electromagnetic wave.
Reason (R): The source of the electromagnetic wave should be in accelerated motion.
 
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.
