Given below are two statements, one labeled as Assertion (A) and the other labeled as Reason (R). **Assertion (A):** Jainism's philosophical doctrine of Anekantavada historically fostered a high degree of intellectual tolerance and non-violence (Ahimsa) in thought. **Reason (R):** Anekantavada asserts that no single human perspective can claim absolute truth, thereby validating diverse viewpoints as partial truths. In the context of the above statements, which of the following is correct?

Options:

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