ABoth A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
BA is true, but R is false ✓ Correct
CBoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
DBoth A and R are false
Correct answer: (B) A is true, but R is false — The assertion is true while the reason is false, so the answer is A is true but R is false.
Explanation
★The assertion is true while the reason is false, so the answer is A is true but R is false.
★Early peasant movements such as the Indigo revolt, Pabna and the Deccan riots were largely scattered and local in character.
★They were tied to particular grievances and rarely linked into a single national struggle before the 1920s.
★This local and isolated nature is what the assertion correctly captures.
★The reason wrongly treats complexity of agrarian society as a settled fact explaining that isolation.
★In truth the isolation owed more to poor communication, varied local conditions and the late entry of organised leadership.
