Model Answer
(A) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation
The textbook explicitly states that the consumer redressal process is "cumbersome, expensive and time consuming" — supporting Assertion A. It then directly lists the same reasons given in R: lawyers are required, cases take time, and cash memos are often absent making evidence hard to gather. Thus R correctly explains A. Option A is the right choice.
