Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Assertion (A) is true because an intranet is a private/internal network used within an organization to share information, collaboration tools, and computing resources. Reason (R) is also true because an intranet uses Internet-style technologies in a private organizational environment. However, R does not fully explain the purpose mentioned in A; it only describes the private nature of an intranet. Therefore, both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
