Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): It is important that in muscles during exercise, when oxygen is inadequate for cellular respiration pyruvic acid is reduced to lactic acid.
Reason (R): NAD+ is regenerated in this step.
 
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).
