The correct answer is

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

On 8 April 1929 Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association threw low-intensity bombs and leaflets into the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi and offered arrest, so the assertion is true.

The act was a protest against two repressive bills then before the Assembly, the Public Safety Bill and a bill restricting strikes by workers, which curbed civil liberties and labour rights; their slogan was that it takes a loud noise to make the deaf hear.

The reason is true and it states the very purpose of the bombing, so it correctly explains the assertion.

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