Two statements are given, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R):
Assertion (A): Social stratification distributes social resources unequally among the people.
Reason (R): It is a characteristic feature of a society.

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation for (A)

Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is not the correct explanation for (A).

Explanation:

• Assertion (A): Social stratification distributes social resources unequally among the people.

  • This statement is true. Social stratification involves the division of society into different strata or layers, and these strata often have unequal access to resources, opportunities, and privileges.

• Reason (R): It is a characteristic feature of a society.

  • While social stratification is indeed a characteristic feature of many societies, the reason does not directly explain why social resources are distributed unequally. Social stratification can exist for various reasons, and its mere existence as a characteristic feature does not necessarily explain the unequal distribution of resources.
