- BBoth A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
- CA is true but R is false
- DA is false but R is true
Explanation
Macroeconomics does study aggregates and averages such as national income and the price level — the assertion is true. Its central problem is indeed the determination of income and employment — the reason is true. But the reason does not explain the assertion: studying aggregates is a matter of method, while income/employment determination is the subject's core question. Both true, R not the correct explanation of A — option (B).
