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)

Explanation

Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason explains the assertion.

The assertion holds that the Sustainable Development Goals are more universal in nature than the Millennium Development Goals.

The reason notes that meeting the new goals is no longer a matter of rich donors aiding recipients.

Because every country, rich or poor, now shares responsibility, the goals apply universally as the assertion claims.

The reason thus explains what makes the newer goals universal rather than donor-driven.

The Sustainable Development Goals cover all nations from 2016 through 2030.
