DA is not correct but R is correct
Correct answer: (B) Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A
Explanation
Both statements are factually true yet the reason does not explain the assertion.
The assertion correctly describes the internet as interconnected computer networks joined by copper, fibre and wireless media.
The reason correctly describes the World Wide Web as a collection of interconnected documents.
The internet is the physical network of machines while the web is one service of documents running over it.
Because the web being a set of documents does not cause the internet to be a network of networks, the reason cannot explain the assertion.
Email and file transfer also run over the same internet alongside the web.
