BBoth (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A) ✓ Correct

C(A) is true but (R) is false

D(A) is false but (R) is true

Correct answer: (B) Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)

Explanation

The assertion is true: as science and technology advance, communication forms grow more specialized and social media rises as a new method.

The reason is also true: modern gadgets make today's communication more complex and indirect, with less face to face interaction.

Both stand as accurate observations about how technology reshapes communication.

Yet the reason does not directly account for the assertion, since specialization and social media use are not caused only by reduced face to face contact.

The assertion is about the growing variety and reach of communication forms.

The reason instead stresses the loss of directness, a related but separate point.
