Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): A population, growing in natural environmental conditions, remains relatively stable in size before it starts to grow exponentially.
Reason (R): During this phase, the organisms are adapting to the environment, synthesizing necessary enzymes, and preparing for rapid growth.
  
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).
3. (A) is True, (R) is False.
4. (A) is False, (R) is True.
