Solution

The correct option is B The assertion is incorrect but the reason is correct.
Historically, human rights were not granted universally. They were exclusively given to the upper echelons of the society. Over time, people demanded the universality and the indivisibility of rights. Many nations began adopting democratic governments. They empowered their citizenry with human rights and civil liberties irrespective of their ancestry, gender, colour, status, and creed. These rights were enforced by adequate legislations passed by the parliament. Thus, the assertion is incorrect but the reason is correct.
