Answer: D
(A) is true but (R) is false.
The assertion states the accepted definition of information literacy, close to the American Library Association's: the ability to recognise when information is needed and to locate, evaluate, use and communicate it effectively and ethically.
The reason defines computer literacy, the ability to use a computer and its software for practical tasks. That is a different, narrower skill, so as a definition of information literacy (R) is false.
