Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | The increasing order or acidity of hydrogen halides is HF<HCI<HBr<HI. | 
| Reason (R): | While comparing acids formed by the elements belonging to the same group of the periodic table, H-A bond strength is a more important factor in determining the acidity of an acid than the polar nature of the bond. | 
| 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. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
