Solution

The correct option is B Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
As the sunlight enters the atmosphere it bends and therefore we see the sunrise two minutes before the actual sunrise (the actual crossing of the Sun with respect to horizon) this is known as apparent sunrise. This happens due to the atmospheric refraction of the sunlight.
