both A and R is correct, but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Answer 2

The assertion is true but the reason is false.

• The kidneys regulate fluid levels, electrolyte balance, and other elements that maintain the body's internal environment stable and comfortable. Moreover, Kidneys are responsible for the removal of waste materials, urea and uric acid from the body.
• Selective reabsorption doesn't occur in the glomerulus instead it occurs in the Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT) which involves the reabsorption of beneficial chemicals from the filtrate.
