Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: People who expect to handle stress often actually do and are happy and satisfied in life.
Reason R: The likelihood that a given behaviour will occur in a specific situation does not depend on individuals' expectancies concerning the outcome of behaviour.

• A. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
• 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
