Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R). Read the statements and choose the correct answer using the code given below.

Assertion (A): Task oriented proactive and assertive behaviour is that which is not extended to injure to achieve one’s goal.

Reason (R): The purpose is to achieve desired goal in which harm to another person occurs accidentally or/and because it is the most efficient way.

 Key Points

Assertion (A): Task-oriented proactive and assertive behavior is that which is not intended to cause harm to achieve one's goal.

• Task-oriented proactive and assertive behavior should not involve intentionally causing harm to others in order to achieve one's goals.
• It implies taking proactive steps and being assertive without resorting to injurious actions.

This means that statement (A) is correct.

Reason (R): The purpose is to achieve the desired goal, even if harm to another person occurs accidentally or because it is the most efficient way.

• It suggests that achieving the desired goal may involve accidentally or intentionally causing harm to others if it is the most efficient way.
• This reasoning is flawed as it does not align with the principle of ethical behavior or responsible goal attainment.

Thus, reason (R) is incorrect.

In summary, task-oriented proactive and assertive behavior should aim to achieve goals without causing harm intentionally, making assertion (A) true, and reason (R) false.
