Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is: A is correct but R is not correct. ICT is justified in teaching because it can enrich presentation, improve access to resources, support interaction, and help optimize learning. However, learning outcomes are not contingent only on ICT use. They also depend on the teacher, learner readiness, content, pedagogy, assessment, and learning environment. Therefore, Assertion A is true and Reason R is false.
