Assertion (A): In a cymose inflorescence, the main axis terminates in a flower, limiting its growth.

Reason (R): The terminal flower in a cymose inflorescence results from the conversion of the apical meristem into a floral meristem, preventing further elongation of the axis.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  2. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the NOT the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  3. Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
  4. Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
