Correct answer: (B) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A — Both are true but R does not explain A, so the answer is both true with R not explaining A.
Explanation
★Both are true but R does not explain A, so the answer is both true with R not explaining A.
★The success of Malik Kafur in South India introduced Islamic politics in the region.
★Malik Kafur was the commander of Alauddin Khalji's forces during his Deccan campaigns.
★The movement of Sufism into South India became a prime reason for conversions to Islam.
★But Sufism's spread was a separate social process, not the cause of Malik Kafur's political success.
★So both statements are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion.
