Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R). **Assertion (A):** The Economic Survey advocates for promoting labor-intensive manufacturing sectors like textiles and leather to address underemployment. **Reason (R):** These labor-intensive sectors have the lowest capital-to-labor ratio, meaning they require massive capital investments to generate even a single job. 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.
