The correct answer is

(A) is correct but (R) is incorrect

Assertion (A): Over recent decades world trade and foreign direct investment have grown faster than world output, so the share of production that crosses borders has risen. Daniels' International Business makes exactly this point. (A) is correct.

Reason (R): Growth has come through both channels. Trade has expanded, and FDI flows and stocks have also grown strongly, often faster than trade itself. The claim that FDI has not grown is false. (R) is incorrect.

Because (R) is false, the question of whether it explains (A) does not arise.

Hence, (A) is correct but (R) is incorrect.
