Option 1 states that both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are true, and that the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. The assertion states that the concept of gene patenting, as declared in Dunkel Draft, is not acceptable to the advocates of "Gene Campaign." The reason provided is that safeguarding genetic resources and protecting the rights of farmers in developing countries are the main objectives of the advocates of "Gene Campaign."

Option 2 agrees that both the assertion and the reason are true, but it disagrees with the reason being the correct explanation of the assertion. This means that while safeguarding genetic resources and protecting farmers` rights may indeed be main objectives of the "Gene Campaign," it does not necessarily mean that this is the reason why the concept of gene patenting is not acceptable to them.

Option 3 claims that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. This means that while the concept of gene patenting may indeed be not acceptable to the advocates of "Gene Campaign," it is not because of the reason provided.

Option 4 states that the assertion is false, but the reason is true. However, based on the information provided in the question, this option does not align with the given statements.
