Explanation
★The assertion is true while the reason is false, so the answer is the third option.
★The assertion is true, since judicial review originated in the US.
★It came through the Marbury vs Madison case of 1803.
★The reason is false, since the phrase 'judicial review' is not used in the Indian Constitution.
★Articles 13 and 226 confer the power but do not use that phrase.
★So judicial review is implied, not explicitly named.
★Thus A is true but R is false.
