Solution
A is false and R is true.
Explanation:
Cold currents move from the poles towards the equator, not towards the poles. The reason is true: ocean currents arise due to differential heating by solar energy causing temperature and density differences in water. Thus, the assertion is false and the reason is true but does not explain the assertion correctly.
