Strong Nuclear Force and Fundamental Forces

Assertion (A): Strong nuclear force holds protons inside nucleus.
Reason (R): Strong nuclear force is not a fundamental force.
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Assertion (A) is true because the strong nuclear force binds nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the nucleus, overcoming electrostatic repulsion. Reason (R) is false as the strong nuclear force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature.
