Answer

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Explanation
Assertion (A) is true because intellectual property includes creations like inventions, literary works, symbols, names, and designs.
Reasoning (R) is true as copyright is one of the ways to protect intellectual property (mainly for literary and artistic works).
However, Reasoning (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A) because patents and trademarks are other ways of protecting other forms of intellectual property. Hence, copyright is not the sole mechanism for safeguarding all types of intellectual property.
