Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The physico-chemical [abiotic] components of ecosystem alone characterise the habitat of an organism.
Reason (R): Interactions between organisms are not relevant for the study of ecology.
 In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
1. Both (A) and (R) are false.
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) does not explain (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) explains (A).
