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

Assertion (A): The reaction center of PS I is known as P700 and the reaction
center of PS II is known as P680.
Reason (R): PS I functions first in the light reactions.

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.
