Given below are two statements: one is labeled as Assertion A and the other is labeled as Reason R.

Assertion A: Cohesion is a qualitative indication of the degree to which a module can be written more compactly and is able to complete its function in a timely manner.

Reason R: Cohesion is a qualitative indication of the degree to which a module is connected to other modules and the outside world. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

1. ABoth A and R are correct and R is the correct Q explanation of A.
2. BBoth A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
3. CA is correct but R is not correct.
4. DA is not correct but R is correct.

Pick an option to check yourself, or open the answer below.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C. A is correct but R is not correct.
