Discussion
Assertion (A) : Primary sources provide most authentic information for research.
Reason (R) : Primary sources are highly unorganised.
Answer: D
The keyed answer is that both statements are correct but the reason is not the explanation of the assertion, option D. Primary sources, such as original research reports and theses, give first-hand and most authentic information. It is also true that primary sources are largely unorganised, because they are scattered and not arranged by any scheme.
Being unorganised is not why they are authentic: authenticity comes from being the original record, so (R) does not explain (A). Option C wrongly makes it an explanation. Options A and B call one of the statements false, which contradicts the usual description of primary sources.
