Correct answer: D
The Assertion (A) is true, because India’s handicraft industry has great potential due to its traditional skills, rich cultural heritage, and international demand.
The Reason (R) is also true, as India indeed has a large variety of craft forms — such as textiles, pottery, metalwork, woodcraft, bamboo art, etc.
Moreover, the Reason (R) correctly explains why the Assertion (A) is true — the presence of many craft forms gives India the potential to develop a flourishing handicraft industry.
