Answer
Both (A) and (R) are true, (R) is the explanation of (A).
Explanation — When the State is under Presidential rule, the Governor can act in his/her discretion (independent of the Council of Minister's advice). But in such cases, the Governor has to act according to the instructions and directions of the President. In this case the Governor acts as an agent of the Union Government.
