CA is correct but R is not correct

DA is not correct but R is correct ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) A is not correct but R is correct

Explanation

A search engine is software that finds websites on the World Wide Web, not a hardware device.

The assertion is not correct because it wrongly calls the search engine a hardware device.

The reason is correct because Google and Microsoft's Bing are indeed two popular search engines.

Search engines crawl and index web pages, then return ranked results for a user's query.

A hardware device is a physical component, whereas a search engine runs as a web-based program.

Since the assertion is false, the reason cannot serve as its explanation.
