Consider the two given statements:
Assertion (A): The cyclic flow hence, results only in the synthesis of ATP, but not of NADPH + H+.
Reason (R): The excited electron does not pass on to NADP+ but is cycled back to the PS I complex through the electron transport chain.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A)
2. (A) is True but (R) is False
