Two statements are given below and these are labelled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R).
Assertion (A): In India, females have lower life expectancy than the males.
Reason (R): Females receive a better diet.
Select the correct answer from the following options:

Assertion (A): In India, females have lower life expectancy than males.

This is considered true in the context of the question.

Reason (R): Females receive a better diet.
This is false, because in many parts of India females often face nutritional disadvantages compared to males.

Explanation:
Although females may have lower life expectancy due to factors like healthcare access, social conditions, and workload, it is not because they receive a better diet. In fact, dietary inequality often works against females.

Therefore, Assertion is true but Reason is false.

Thus, correct option is (D).
