| Assertion (A): | Amino acids are called \(\alpha\)-amino acids. |
| Reason (R): | Amino acids are organic compounds containing an amino group and an acidic group as substituents on the \(\alpha\)-carbon. |
| 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. |
