Assertion (A) is true but Reasoning (R) is not correct.

Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct.

Correct Answer:

Assertion (A) is true but Reasoning (R) is not correct.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3: Assertion (A) is true but Reasoning (R) is not correct.

Assertion: An attitude with greater centrality in an attitude system would have a stronger influence on other attitudes compared to non-central attitudes. This is true. Centrality denotes the role of a specific attitude within the attitude system, with central attitudes exerting more influence on other attitudes compared to peripheral ones.

Reasoning: Centrality is an important component of attitude. This is false. Centrality is NOT a component of attitude (like cognitive, affective, or behavioral components) but it is a  property of attitude.
