Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Gandhiji's publications like Young India and Harijan focused on ideological content rather than commercial advertisements, making Assertion (A) false. However, these journals enjoyed wide circulation among freedom fighters and the public, making Reason (R) true. Hence, A is false but R is correct.
