• C. A is true, but R is false.
• D. A is false, but R is true.

Answer 1

The correct option is C A is true, but R is false.

Owing to gender-based discrimination, the representation of women in panchayats, state assemblies, and the parliament is limited. Their presence is not felt in meetings and sessions. The government aims to fix this situation by reserving seats for women in electoral bodies.
