• Assertion (A) - The Constitution begins with a short statement of its basic values called the Preamble of the constitution. Thus, assertion (A) is true.

• Reason (R): This is called the Preamble to the constitution which is correct. Thus, reasoning (R) is true.

• Preamble is an introductory statement in a constitution which states the reason and guiding values of the constitution. Thus assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).

Thus,

• Assertion is true
• Reasoning is true
• And, Reasoning is the correct explanation of assertion.

So the correct answer is (a) .
