The Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.

The Assertion is correct but the Reason is incorrect.

Correct Answer:

The Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3 - The Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.

Assertion: Globalisation has led to the same degree of increase in the movement of people across the globe.

Reason: Developed countries have carefully guarded their borders with visa policies to ensure better facilities for their citizens.

Assertion is inaccurate. While globalization has indeed increased the movement of people to some extent, the degree of increase is far from uniform across the globe. Factors such as economic disparities, conflict, and government policies have led to a highly uneven distribution of migration patterns. Also, the reason correctly points out that developed countries have implemented strict visa policies to protect the interests of their citizens.


Globalisation has NOT led to the same degree of increase in the movement of people across the globe. Developed countries have carefully guarded their borders with visa policies to ensure that citizens of other countries cannot take away the jobs of their own citizens.
