Correct answer: (C) A is correct but R is not correct — The answer is that A is correct but R is not correct.
Explanation
★The answer is that A is correct but R is not correct.
★History, meaning outside events during a study, can seriously distort its results, so Assertion A is correct.
★Such events can strongly shape the opinions and attitudes of respondents.
★So the claim that they may not affect respondents is wrong, making Reason R incorrect.
★In fact these events are exactly why the history effect can be fatal.
★Thus A is correct while R is not.
★So the answer is that A is correct but R is not correct.
