The correct answer is option 4: Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct. Assertion: There was no role of public sector in the new industrial sector during colonial times in India. This is false. The role of public sector was there in colonial times but was limited.

The public sector's reach and influence in other industries were relatively limited.
