Discussion
Assertion (A) and Reason (R) pattern :
Assertion (A) : Participatory approach to policy making leads to adoption of better informed policies.
Reason (R) : Participatory approach takes into consideration the views of different stakeholders.
Answer the question using the codes given below :
Answer: B
The answer is that both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the explanation of (A).
Participatory policy-making involves those affected, citizens, experts, interest groups and implementing officials, in shaping policy. The reason states what such participation does: it brings the views of different stakeholders into consideration. That is exactly why the resulting policies are better informed, since decision-makers learn about local conditions, likely effects and practical problems they would otherwise miss.
So the reason explains the assertion. Option A says only that both are true and leaves out the explanatory link, option D denies it, and option C wrongly treats the reason as false.
