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

Explanation

SWAYAM courses are free to any learner, but the reason wrongly names the channel that carries them.

The assertion is correct that SWAYAM courses are available free of cost to any learner.

The reason is wrong because SWAYAM content airs on SWAYAM PRABHA DTH channels, not on Gyanvani.

Gyanvani is an educational radio network rather than a television channel for these courses.

The reason thus cannot correctly explain the assertion.

SWAYAM hosts MOOCs from the school to the postgraduate level.
