All of the following regarding juxtamedullary nephrons in human kidneys are correct except:

1. the entire nephron is located in the superficial cortex of the kidney
2. the renal corpuscle comprises a glomerulus and a glomerular capsule
3. blood arrives at the glomerular capillaries via an afferent arteriole
4. the proximal convoluted tubule leads into a long nephron loop

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
Assertion (A): Juxtamedullary nephrons are key adaptation for water conservation in mammals.
Reason (R): Juxtamedullary nephrons constitute about 85% of all nephrons in the mammalian kidney.

In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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.
