Assertion (A):  Carbon forms two oxides \(CO\) and \(CO_2\) where \(CO\) is neutral whereas \(CO_2\) is acidic.
Reason (R):  \(CO_2\) will combine with water to give carbonic acid and \(CO\) is soluble in water.
 
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.

Given below are two statements:
Statement -I Blood acts as a buffer solution, and its pH is maintained at 7.4 by an acidic buffer.
