C Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false ✔ ✖
D Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true ✔ ✖

Correct Answer: C

Let's carefully analyze:

Assertion (A): An argument is a value that is passed to a method when it is called.

✅ True. In Java, the actual value you pass to a method is called an argument.

Reason (R): Variables which are declared in a method prototype to receive values are called actual parameters.

❌ This is incorrect terminology.
Variables in the method declaration are called formal parameters, not actual parameters.
Actual parameters are the values (arguments) passed during the method call.

So: Assertion is true, Reason is false.

Answer: (c) Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false
