Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R) :

Assertion (A) : Lewin asserted that avoidance – avoidance conflicts are relatively more stable

Reason (R) : Opposing forces tend to remain in a state of disequilibrium.

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 explanation of (A)
2. BBoth (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is Not the correct explanation of (A)
3. C(A) is correct but (R) is not correct
4. D(A) is not correct but (R) is correct

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