Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): O2 gets bound to haemoglobin in the lung surface and gets dissociated at the tissues.
Reason (R): In the alveoli, there is high pO2, low pCO2, lesser H+ concentration and lower temperature whereas in the tissues, low pO2, high pCO2, high H+ concentration and higher temperature exist.
 
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. (A) is False but (R) is True

Regarding the chemical regulation of respiration in humans:
I: A chemosensitive area is situated adjacent to the rhythm centre which is highly sensitive to CO2 and hydrogen ions.
II: Receptors associated with aortic arch and carotid artery can recognise changes in O2 concentration and send necessary signals to the rhythm centre for remedial actions.
III: The role of oxygen in the regulation of respiratory rhythm is most significant.
1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only II and III are incorrect
3. I, II and III are incorrect
4. Only I and III are correct
