The correct answer is

(A) is false but (R) is true

A proxy server is by definition a computer that sits between a client and the wider internet. Client requests are forwarded through it to the destination server, and responses return through it to the client.

So Assertion (A), which says the proxy server does not act as an intermediary, is factually wrong.

Reason (R) correctly lists the real functions of a proxy server - it caches frequently requested pages, enforces administrative access rules, and provides an additional security boundary between the internal network and the internet.

Hence, Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
