Select your answer to these items using the codes given below and mark your answer accordingly.Assertion (A): A short linear conductor is often called a short dipole.Reason (R): In a short dipole, the length is much lesser than the wavelength and the diameter of the dipole is also much lesser than the length.

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