Model Answer

Option A — Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. Large companies manipulate markets through false information spread via media, which directly harms consumers — R correctly explains A.

Explanation

The textbook mentions unfair trade practices and malpractices by sellers harming consumers. Passing false information through media is one specific way companies manipulate markets, making R a direct and correct explanation of A. Hence option A is correct, not B.
