Question

Given below are two statements marked as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Read these statements carefully and choose the correct answer from the options (A), (B), (C) and (D) given below :
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:

Remember: Globalisation leads to the retreat of the traditional welfare state in favor of market-driven economic policies and a minimalist state model focused on maintaining order and national security.
