The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that "Silver is not used to make electric wires." - This statement is **true**. Silver is indeed not commonly used for electric wires. 2. **Understanding Reason (R)**: - The reason states that "Silver is a bad conductor." - This statement is **false**. In fact, silver is one of the best conductors of electricity. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion (A) is true and the reason (R) is false, we can conclude that the relationship between A and R does not hold true. The reason does not correctly explain the assertion. ### Final Answer: - Assertion (A) is true, and Reason (R) is false. Therefore, the correct answer is that A is true but R is false. ---
