उत्तर
Both A and R are true, and R explains A.
Explanation:
Sole proprietors have unlimited personal liability because there is no legal distinction between the business and the owner. This means if the business incurs debts or financial obligations and its assets are insufficient to cover them, the proprietor’s personal assets can be used to settle those debts. Hence, the proprietor is personally responsible for all business liabilities, confirming both the assertion and the reasoning as true, where the reason explains the assertion clearly.
