Correct answer: C
Assertion A: DENDRAL is an expert system
True — DENDRAL is one of the earliest AI expert systems (used for chemical structure analysis).
Reason R: The rationality of an agent is not related to its reaction to the environment
False — In AI, a rational agent is defined by how it acts in response to percepts from the environment.
So rationality is directly related to environment interaction.
