BBoth (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
C(A) is true, but (R) is false
D(A) is false, but (R) is true

Explanation
★Both statements are true and the reason explains the assertion, so the answer is that R correctly explains A.
★The teacher education curriculum should indeed give scope for developing logical thinking and problem solving, so the assertion is true.
★Today's learners do need considerable freedom to explore, enquire and investigate, so the reason is true.
★It is precisely this freedom to explore and enquire that lets logical thinking and problem solving develop.
★So the reason states the very condition that makes the assertion necessary.
★Hence both are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
