Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
 
Assertion (A): The spread of living pteridophytes is limited and restricted to narrow geographical regions.
Reason (R): Evolutionarily, pteridophytes are the first terrestrial plants to possess vascular tissues – xylem and phloem.
In the light of the above statements choose the correct 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.

What would be true for both Cycas and Pinus?
1. Cycas is a gymnosperm and Pinus is a pteridophyte
2. The gametophyte is dominant in the life cycle of Cycas and the sporophytes is dominant in the life cycle of Pinus
3. Roots of Pinus have mycorrhiza association and coralloid roots of Cycas are associated with nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria
4. In Pinus, the male and female cones are borne on different trees and in Cycas on the same tree

The system of classification of plants given by Carolus Linnaeus was:
1. an artificial system based mainly on the androecium structure.
2. a natural system based on large number of natural affinities between flowering plants.
3. was a phylogenetic system based on evolutionary relationships.
4. was a chemotaxonomic system based on structure of homologous proteins.
