    A Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation for (A). Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) correctly explains (A). Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C (A) is true, but (R) is false. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D (A) is false, but (R) is true. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    India experiences a tropical monsoon climate due to its geographic features. Thus, (A) is true. However, only the southern half of the country lies within tropical latitudes, as the Tropic of Cancer runs through the middle of India. So, (R) is false. Hence, the correct answer is (C).
