Options

• A is True and R is False.

• A is False and R is True.

• Both A and R are True and R is the correct explanation of A.

• Both A and R are True but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Answer 1

Both A and R are True but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

Multinational corporations provide jobs and bring capital to developing countries. However, multinational corporations have an impact on the environment by increasing carbon emissions and resource use, such as water and electricity, which leads to environmental depletion. Thus, both claim and reason are true, but reason is not the proper explanation for the assertion.
