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

Solution
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Explanation:
In a parallel connection, all resistors are connected between the same two common points. Therefore, the potential difference across each resistor is the same. The reason correctly explains why the potential difference is constant across all resistors in parallel.
