Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A):  An atomic orbital is monocentric, whereas a molecular orbital is polycentric.
Reason (R): An electron in an atomic orbital is influenced by one nucleus whereas in a molecular orbital, it is influenced by two or more nuclei depending upon the number of atoms in a molecule.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
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.
