Option 4: Assertion (A) is False but Reason (R) is True

Solution :
The advantages of direct poverty alleviation programs have been taken by the non-poor due to the unequal distribution of land and other assets. The resources allotted for these programs are insufficient in light of the severity of poverty.
Poverty Alleviation Programmes were unsatisfactory as benefits were not reached to the needy. No huge amount of resources was allocated to the poverty alleviation program
Hence option c is the correct answer.
