Correct answer: A
Both Assertion A and Reason R are true, and Reason R is the correct explanation of Assertion A. Probability sampling is appropriate for quantitative research as it enables statistical generalization. It reduces selection bias by ensuring every population member has a known chance of selection, which guarantees representativeness required for quantitative analysis.
