Assertion (A):  Smoking increases the carbon monoxide (CO) content in the blood which has a greater
affinity to hemoglobin than oxygen. 
Reason (R):  CO forms a stable bond with haemoglobin and does not allow the binding of oxygen. It reduces the concentration of heme bounded oxygen and causes oxygen deficiency in the body.
 
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.
