पर्याय

• Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

• Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

A is false but R is true.

Explanation:

• Assertion (A) is false because the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries not the Renaissance – are called the Age of Reason and Enlightenment in the understanding of abnormal behaviour.
• Reason (R) is true: the organismic (biological) approach explained disorders in terms of imbalances among the four body humours (blood, black bile, yellow bile, and phlegm).
