Answer
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation — The reaction of an acid with a base to form salt and water is called a neutralization reaction. This type of reaction is indeed a double displacement reaction, as the hydrogen ions (H⁺) from the acid and the hydroxide ions (OH⁻) from the base combine to form water, while the other ions combine to form the salt. However, these are two separate facts.
