Correct answer: A
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A). Mass communication is defined by its reach to a large, heterogeneous audience. This reach is achieved specifically through mass media channels designed for such dissemination. Therefore, the use of specialized media (Reason) directly explains the nature of the process described in the Assertion.
