Correct option is C
• Assertion (A) is true:
– The Windows Taskbar shows a list of active applications and lets users switch instantly among open windows.
• Reason (R) is false:
– Taskbar icons represent both minimized and currently open/active applications, not only minimized ones.
– The taskbar is used for launching, managing, pinning, and switching applications, even when windows are visible on screen.
Therefore, Reason does not correctly explain the Assertion.
