a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the
Assertion (A).
b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of
the Assertion (A).
c) Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
d) Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R)is true.
