Select the correct option based on statements below:

Assertion (A): The stability of a crystal is reflected by the magnitude of its melting point.
Reason (R): Greater the intermolecular forces of attraction, the higher will be the stability and melting point of the substance.
 
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. Both (A) and (R) are false.
