Answer
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Explanation
Assertion is true. In set theory, a collection must be "well-defined." The term "tall" is relative and subjective (someone 5'6" might be tall to one person but short to another). Because there is no fixed criteria, it is not a set.
The reason correctly states the definition of a set (a well-defined collection of objects), which explains why the assertion is true.
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
