Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Constituencies are reserved for the weaker sections of the society, which include Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs), to ensure fairness in elections. These sections lack what their influential counterparts have in terms of resources, education, and political connections. So, an open electoral competition might be unfair.
