Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): Ernst Haeckel’s proposal for embryological support for evolution was disapproved by Karl Ernst von Baer.
Reason (R): Karl Ernst von Baer noted that embryos pass through the adult stages of other animals.
 
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.

If you observe the embryos of reptiles, birds, and mammals during their early stages of development, they look very similar. The correct inference  from this observation will be that reptiles, birds, and mammals:
1. have a common ancestor
2. live in the same types of environments
3. are no longer undergoing evolution
4. have gotten rid of all their vestigial structures
