Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): Immediately after light becomes unavailable, the biosynthetic process continues for some time, and then stops.
Reason (R): The biosynthetic phase of photosynthesis depends on the products of the light reaction.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.
