Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 

Assertion (A): Many amphibians excrete mainly ammonia when they are aquatic tadpoles and switch largely to urea excretion when they become land dwelling adults.
Reason (R): The main disadvantage of urea is its energy cost and the main advantage is its low toxicity.

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).
