Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): A practical capacitor designed with a capacitance of \( 1\text{ F} \) with plate separation of \( 1\text{ cm} \) in vacuum requires plate dimensions comparable to a small city. Reason (R): The permittivity of free space \( \varepsilon_0 \) is extraordinarily large in SI units. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct 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. is true but (R) is false.
4. is false but (R) is true.
