(A) : A charge `'q_1'` exerts some force on a second charge `'q_2'`. If a third charge `'q_3'` is brought near, the force exerted by `q_1` on `q_2` does not change
( R ) : The electrostatic force between two charges is independent of presence of third charge

B. Both A and R are true and R does not explain A
C. A is true but R is false
D. A is false but R is true
