Question:

Assertion (A): Stressors are events that cause our body to give the stress response.
Reason (R): Events include noise, crowding, a bad relationship, or the daily commuting to school or office.

Options:

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

A is true, R is false

A is false, R is true

Correct Answer:

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2: Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Assertion (A): Stressors are events that cause our body to give the stress response. Correct. This is a definition. It tells what stressors are.
Reason (R): Events include noise, crowding, a bad relationship, or the daily commuting to school or office. This is also True. Reasoning gives examples of stressors.

To determine if R is the correct explanation for A, we ask: Does the fact that these specific events exist explain why stressors cause a stress response? The answer is No. While Reason (R) provides valid examples of stressors, it does not explain the underlying mechanism or the definition provided in the Assertion. An "explanation" would need to describe how the brain perceives these events as threats or how the physiological "fight or flight" system is activated. Providing a list of examples categorizes the term but does not explain the causal relationship stated in (A). Thus, Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
