DA is not correct but R is correct
Correct answer: (C) A is correct but R is not correct
Explanation
Individual difference is a natural phenomenon, as people differ by heredity and environment, so the Assertion is correct.
Individual difference cannot be negated by education, so the Reason is incorrect.
Education can reduce gaps and develop each learner, but it cannot make all learners identical.
Differences in aptitude, pace and interest persist and are addressed rather than erased.
The proper response to individual difference is differentiated teaching, not its removal.
Recognizing individual differences underlies remedial teaching, ability grouping and inclusive education.
