Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R). In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.

The assertion is true because emotionally intelligent children are indeed found to be good at problem solving.

The reason is true because emotional intelligence is the capacity to integrate and manage the emotions.

The reason explains the assertion, since managing emotions well frees the mind to think clearly and solve problems.

Regulated emotions reduce anxiety and impulsiveness, letting children approach problems calmly and flexibly.

Emotional intelligence was popularised by Daniel Goleman and is measured by tools such as the emotional quotient.
