BBoth (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
Correct answer: (A) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) — Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) correctly explains (A), so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) correctly explains (A), so that is the answer.
★The assertion says the goals aim at a zero level, such as zero hunger.
★The reason says the MDGs only aimed halfway, while the SDGs aim to finish the job.
★Aiming to finish the job is exactly what a zero-level target means.
★So the reason explains why the goals seek a zero level.
★So both are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
