Correct answer: A
In formal logic, validity is a property of arguments, not individual propositions.
Assertion A correctly states this limitation. Reason R accurately defines validity as an attribute of arguments.
Since Reason R provides the definition that justifies Assertion A, both statements are correct and R explains A.
