Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Biography and memoir are different literary forms. A biography is the life story of a person written by another person. An autobiography is the life story written by the person himself or herself. A memoir is usually a personal narrative based on selected memories, experiences, or events. A day-to-day record of events is called a diary or journal. Therefore, Assertion (A) is correct. But Reason (R) is incorrect because it confuses biography with autobiography and memoir with diary. Hence: \[ \text{(A) is correct but (R) is not correct.} \]
