Assertion (A): An argument is a value that is passed to a method when it is called.
Reason (R): Variables which are declared in a method prototype to receive values are called actual parameters
- Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is a correct explanation of Assertion (A)
- Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not a correct explanation of Assertion(A)
- Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false
- Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true

Answer
Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false
Explanation — Arguments are the actual values passed to a method when it is invoked. For example:
void exampleMethod(int x) { ... }
exampleMethod(5); // Here, 5 is the argument.
Hence, Assertion (A) is true.
The variables declared in a method prototype (or header) to receive values are called formal parameters, not actual parameters. For example:
void exampleMethod(int x) { // x is the formal parameter
System.out.println(x);
}
exampleMethod(5); // 5 is the actual parameter
Hence, Reason (R) is false.
