Question

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : The ulnar nerve is also known as the 'musician's nerve'.
Reason (R) : It controls fine movements of the fingers.
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:

Damage or compression of the ulnar nerve (often at the cubital tunnel in the elbow) results in a characteristic clinical presentation known as 'Claw Hand' deformity.
It predominantly affects the 4th and 5th digits due to the loss of intrinsic muscle function.
