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

Explanation

ICT genuinely acts as a powerful enabler of a digitally empowered society, which is the true reason.

The assertion is false because free Wi-Fi to every citizen is not among the Digital India objectives.

Digital India aims at digital infrastructure, governance and services on demand, and digital empowerment.

Public internet access is one pillar, but universal free Wi-Fi is not a stated goal.

The reason correctly captures how ICT bridges the digital divide and expands access.

Since the assertion itself is untrue, the reason cannot explain it.
