Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Urban migration patterns in India increasingly reflect circular and seasonal flows rather than permanent relocation. Reason (R): Poor housing rights, informal employment, and rural debt cycles restrict long-term urban settlement. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• 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

Hint:

Remember: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Circular Migration} &\rightarrow \text{Temporary movement between rural and urban areas}, \text{Main Causes} &\rightarrow \text{Informal jobs, poor housing, rural indebtedness, seasonal employment}. \end{aligned} } \] Whenever the Reason identifies the actual cause behind the Assertion, choose: \[ \boxed{\text{Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).}} \]
