Question

Assertion (A): All over the world, the old 'welfare state' is getting more importance.
Reason (R): Due to globalisation, the state withdraws from many of its earlier welfare functions and the market has become the prime determinant of economic and social priorities.

• A. Both the Assertion (A) and the Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
• B. Both the Assertion (A) and the Reason (R) are true, but the Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
• C. Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
• D. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

Hint:

Globalization generally shifts the state from a Welfare State model to a Minimalist State model, which restricts state functions to primary security, keeping law and order, and enforcing contracts.
