Model Answer

Option A: Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Both statements are directly from the text. (R) explains why exporting manufactured goods is important — transforming raw materials into finished goods of higher value brings prosperity and foreign exchange.

Explanation

Both statements appear together in the same paragraph of the textbook, explicitly linking export of manufactured goods to prosperity. The Reason directly explains the Assertion — countries prosper by transforming raw materials into higher-value finished goods, which is exactly what manufactured exports achieve. Examiners expect students to identify this causal link, making Option A the correct choice.
