Answer 1

The Assertion (A) is correct, but the Reason (R) is incorrect.

Explanation:

The assertion is correct, as the government imposed strict press censorship and curtailed freedom of the press during the Emergency in 1975. However, the reason is incorrect because newspapers opposed censorship in multiple ways,such as leaving blank spaces, modifying headlines, and offering indirect criticism,rather than limiting their protest only to publishing cartoons.
