Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A). Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A). Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false. Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
