Discussion
Assertion (A) : Public Policy is whatever Governments choose to do or not to do.
Reason (R) : Policy making is clearly related to decision making.
Answer: A
Both statements are correct, and the reason explains the assertion, so the answer is A.
The assertion is Thomas Dye's well-known definition of public policy: whatever governments choose to do or not to do. It treats inaction as a policy choice. Policy making is a form of decision making, since a policy is the result of a choice among alternatives, and that is why 'choosing to do or not to do' is the essence of the definition.
Option B accepts both but denies the link, and options C and D call one of them false, which is not so.
