Answer 1

Both the Assertion (A) and the Reason (R) are correct, but the Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).

Explanation:

Assertion (A) is correct because multinational companies' expanding power threatens national governments' autonomy.

Reason (R) is also correct in claiming that states continue to operate while selectively withdrawing from certain areas.

However, R does not directly explain A; it does not clarify how MNCs reduce governments’ decision-making power.
