The correct answer is

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

The given question requires us to evaluate the assertion and reason and their relationship. Let's analyze them one by one:

  • Assertion (A): Learning is a lifelong process.
    • This statement is true. Learning is an ongoing process, as humans continue to gain knowledge and skills throughout life by adapting to new experiences, environments, and information.
  • Reason (R): Learning to be useful must be linked with life processes.
    • This statement is also true. The purpose of learning is often to enhance one's ability to function and navigate through life's various processes and challenges effectively. When learning is connected with practical life applications, it becomes more meaningful and beneficial.

Now, let us evaluate whether the reason provided is the correct explanation for the assertion:

  • Both statements are indeed true.
  • The reason effectively explains why learning is considered a lifelong process. The linkage of learning with life processes justifies its continuity throughout life, supporting the assertion that learning does not cease at any specific point but continues as part of life's journey.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
