Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A):  The most commonly used bioreactors for biosynthesis are of stirring type.
Reason (R): A bioreactor provides the optimal conditions for achieving the desired product by providing optimum growth conditions.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. (A) is True; (R) is False
3. (A) is False; (R) is False
4. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).
