Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as **Reason (R):** Assertion (A):** The sky appears blue during a clear day, but the Sun appears reddish during sunrise and sunset. **Reason (R):** According to Rayleigh scattering, the intensity of scattered light is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength, causing shorter wavelengths to scatter much more than longer wavelengths. Select the correct answer using the codes given below:

Options:

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