The correct answer is

Both [A] and [R] are true and [R] is the correct explanation of [A]

The Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969 is a central law that makes registration of every birth and death compulsory, and Tamil Nadu carries out registration under this Act through its local bodies and the Director of Public Health as Chief Registrar.

The National Population Policy, 2000 listed among its national socio-demographic goals the universal registration of births, deaths, marriages and pregnancies by 2010.

Registration in the State under the 1969 Act is the means through which this universal registration goal is pursued, so both statements are true and the Reason is taken as explaining the Assertion.

Hence, Both [A] and [R] are true and [R] is the correct explanation of [A].
