Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Black bodies absorb and emit radiant energy much better than bodies of lighter colours. Reason (R): The wavelength for which energy is maximum in blackbody radiation increases with an increase in temperature. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1. A
   Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. B
   Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
3. C
   (A) is true but (R) is false.
