Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A : Between 1921-1922, the production of tea and coffee grew up.
Reason R : As the non-cooperation moved into economic sphere and foreign goods were boycotted and burnt.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
• B. Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
• C. A is correct but R is not correct
• D. A is not correct but R is correct

Hint:

During the Non-Cooperation Movement foreign cloth was boycotted; it was cloth production that rose, while tea plantation workers did not benefit.

Reason R is a correct statement about the movement.

Answer: (4) ng>A is not correct but R is c
