Answer
Both A and R are true but R does not explain A.
Explanation — Assertion (A) is true because nuclear energy is indeed considered one of the most reliable energy sources. It provides a continuous output of power and is not affected by weather conditions or daylight like solar and wind energy. Reason (R) is also true because nuclear fuels like uranium are less impacted by market price fluctuations compared to fossil fuels like oil and natural gas.
However, while both statements are true, R does not directly explain why nuclear energy is reliable. Reliability refers more to the consistent output and availability of the energy source, not primarily to its price stability.
