Assertion (A) : Classical Realism argues that conflict among nations in inevitable.
Reason (R) : Classical Realism believes that balance of power can secure peace.
Answer: C
Both statements are correct, but the Reason is not the cause of the Assertion.
Classical realists such as Hans Morgenthau trace international politics to a human drive for power, so in a world without a central authority conflict among nations is unavoidable (the paper prints 'in inevitable'). They also hold that a balance of power, in which no state can dominate, keeps that conflict in check and preserves peace.
The balance of power is the realists' remedy for conflict, not its cause, so the Reason does not explain the Assertion. The options calling either statement incorrect fail because both describe classical realism accurately.
