Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): If the terms of a sequence are such that the difference between any term and its preceding term is constant, the sequence is an Arithmetic Progression. Reason (R): In a Geometric Progression, the ratio of any term to its preceding term is constant throughout. 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.
4. D
   (A) is false but (R) is true.
