Answer
A is false but R is true.
Explanation— Gases follow charles's law, volume of given mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. At 0°C, a gas still behaves mostly like an ideal gas under standard pressure, and its volume is not negligible. Hence, the assertion (A) is false.
Molecular motion increases with rising temp and decreases with lowering temperature. When the temperature is zero on kelvin scale, the molecular motion ceases. Hence, the reason (R) is true.

Assertion (A): Gases exert pressure on the walls of the container they are kept in.
Reason (R): Gas molecules have a large kinetic energy. They strike the walls of the container in which they are kept with a certain force. The force per unit area is responsible for the pressure of the gas.
