COnly A is true, but R is false

Correct answer: (A) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A — Both statements are taken as true and the reason explains the assertion, so the answer is that R correctly explains A.
Explanation
★Both statements are taken as true and the reason explains the assertion, so the answer is that R correctly explains A.
★SWAYAM is the national platform hosting MOOCs for learners across the country.
★Students can use these MOOCs to earn up to forty percent of the credits per semester, so the assertion is true.
★The reason states that the MOOCs on SWAYAM are credit-based, so their completion can carry academic credit.
★Because the courses are credit-based, they can indeed be counted towards the semester credits.
★So the reason supplies the ground for the assertion, and both are taken together as A being correctly explained by R.
