Model Answer

Answer: C

Assertion (A) is false — the Grimm brothers collected folktales not merely for children's entertainment, but to oppose French domination and build a German national identity. Reason (R) is true.

Explanation

The textbook (Box 1, Chapter 1) clearly states the Grimm brothers "saw French domination as a threat to German culture" and considered collecting folktales "part of the wider effort to oppose French domination and create a German national identity." So A is false; R correctly states their actual motivation.
