Consider the two statements:
Assertion (A):  It is better to consider the respiratory pathway as an amphibolic pathway rather than as a catabolic one.
Reason (R):   The respiratory pathway is involved in both anabolism and catabolism.
 
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.
