Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((A)\) is true, \((R)\) is true but \((R)\) is not the correct explanation for \((A)\).

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

RNA contains four bases : The purines - adenine (A) and guanine \((G)\). The pyrimidines - cytosine (C) and uracil (U). The bases can interact via hydrogen bonds. So, (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
