Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): Phenotypic plasticity is more important for plants than for animals.
Reason (R):  Plants are sessile and cannot move away from environmental stresses, which necessitates a greater degree of physiological and morphological adaptability.

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): Growth, at the cellular level, is measured by a variety of parameters, some of which are: increase in fresh weight, dry weight, length, area, volume and cell number.
Reason (R): Growth, at a cellular level, is principally a consequence of an increase in the amount of protoplasm, and increase in protoplasm is difficult to measure directly.
 
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.
