Two statements are given, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R):
Assertion (A): Capitalism was marked by its static nature and the potential to grow from the very beginning.
Reason (R) : Western colonialism was inextricably connected to the growth of western capitalism.

(A) is false but (R) is true

What marked capitalism from the very beginning was its dynamism (not static nature), its potential to grow, expand, innovate, use technology and labour in a way best assured to ensure greatest profit. What marked it too was its global nature. Western colonialism was inextricably connected to the growth of western capitalism. This had a lasting impact on the way capitalism developed in a colonised country like India.
