Consider the two statements:
Assertion (A): Higher rate of photosynthesis is seen when plants are provided with blue and red regions
of wavelengths of visible light.
Reason (R): There is maximum absorption by chlorophyll a in the blue and the red regions of the visible light.

2. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A)
3. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A)
