Assertion (A) : Upāyakauśala is a special quality of Buddha Reason (R) : Buddha was highly skilled in leading various type of distracted people to take them in good path by various methods. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

In Assertion-Reason questions, replace the period after (A) with the word "BECAUSE." “Upāyakauśala is a special quality BECAUSE the Buddha was skilled in leading people by various methods.” If the resulting sentence becomes logically meaningful and explanatory, then (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
