Assertion (A): The Silicon Valley near San Francisco and Silicon Forest near Seattle are examples of Technopolis. Reason (R): White collar workers make up a large share of the total workforce in High Technology Industries. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• B. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
• C. A is true but R is false.
• D. A is false but R is true.
