Edvaya · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).. **Both A and R are true and R correctly explains A.**

Growth companies reinvest a large portion of their profits to fund expansion and new investment opportunities, leaving less for dividend distribution. Hence dividends are smaller in growth companies — this is what Assertion A states. Reason R directly explains *why*: because they retain more earnings to finance investment. Both are true and R explains A.
