An incorrect statement regarding the catalyst is:

1. It catalyzes the forward and backward reactions to the same extent.
2. It alters gibbs free energy of the reaction.
3. It is a substance that does not change the equilibrium constant of a reaction.
4. It provides an alternate mechanism by reducing activation energy between reactants and products.

Select the correct option based on statements below:

Assertion (A): The enthalpy of reaction remains constant in the presence of a catalyst.
Reason (R): A catalyst participating in the reaction forms a different activated complex and lowers down the activation energy but the difference in energy of the reactant and the product remains the same.
 
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.
