Select the option that is true regarding the following two statements labeled Assertion (A) and Reason (R).Assertion (A): Whenever we measure an electrical signal, there are chances of over current whichleads to overheating of the meter. In such cases, the meter can be protected by using a semiconductor diode of suitable rating.Reason (R): As soon as the diode is short-circuited, the meter current is diverted through the diode.As a result, the meter is being protected from excess heating.

• A. A is true but R is false
• B. Both A and R are true, but R is not a correct explanation of A
• C. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
• D. A is false but R is true
