Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R).\n **Assertion (A):** High jumpers are provided with cushioned beds or sand pits to land on after their jump to prevent severe injuries.\n **Reason (R):** The cushioned bed increases the duration of the impact, which reduces the rate of change of momentum and consequently decreases the average force exerted on the athlete's body.\n Choose the correct option:

Options:

• A: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
• B: Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
• C: A is true but R is false.
• D: A is false but R is true.
