    Question

    Two statements labelled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are given. Consider both the statements carefully.
    Assertion (A): Fake news spread in world has become a serious problem.
    Reason (R): The internet is source of all fake news.
    Select correct answer with the help of code.

    A.

    (A) is true but (R) is false.

    B.

    (A) is false but (R) is true

    C.

    Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

    D.

    Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is (c) Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
    Explanation:
    Assertion (A): Fake news spread in world has become a serious problemTrue, because fake news causes misinformation, confusion, and societal harm.
    Reason (R): The internet is source of all fake newsPartly true, since the internet is a major source of fake news, though not the only one (it also spreads through word of mouth, print, and broadcast media).
    However, (R) does not directly explain why fake news has become a serious problem — it merely states one medium of spread.
    Hence, both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
