Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: Neural networks are capable of approximating any continuous function to an arbitrary degree of accuracy.
Reason R: This is explained by the universal approximation theorem.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- A.
Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
- B.
Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
- C.
A is correct but R is not correct
- D.
A is not correct but R is correct

Correct answer: A
Assertion A is correct because neural networks can approximate any continuous function to arbitrary accuracy, as established by the universal approximation theorem. Reason R is also correct and directly explains Assertion A, since the theorem provides the theoretical basis for this capability. Therefore, both statements are correct and R correctly explains A, making option 0 the most appropriate choice.
