Both A and R are true, and R is not the correct explanation of A.

Assertion (A) is true. During the phallic stage, according to Freudian psychoanalytic theory, children experience the Oedipus Complex. For boys, this involves feelings of love for the mother, hostility toward the father, and fear of castration as punishment by the father. (Oedipus was a Greek king who unknowingly killed his father and then married his mother).

Reason (R) is also true. Freud proposed that the resolution of the Oedipus Complex occurs when the boy identifies with his father, accepting his father's relationship with his mother, and modeling his behavior after his father as a way to resolve the conflict.

The reason does not not explain why the children experiences the Oedipus Complex.
