Given below are two statements, an Assertion (A) and a Reason (R). Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Assertion A is true: self-concept is influenced by how individuals believe others perceive them.

Reason R is also true: self-concept may change over time as individuals gain new experiences.

However, R is not the correct explanation of A, since it describes the changeability of self-concept, not why others' perceptions shape it.

The influence in A reflects Cooley's looking-glass self, where we see ourselves through others' eyes.

The change in R reflects the developmental, experience-driven nature of self-concept.

Self-concept is the organised set of beliefs a person holds about themselves.
