Strong Nuclear Force Characteristics

Assertion (A): Strong nuclear force is fundamental quark-quark interaction.
Reason (R): Strong nuclear force is shortest range force in nature.
 
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:

The strong nuclear force is a fundamental interaction between quarks, mediated by gluons. So (A) is true. It also has the shortest range among all fundamental forces. So (R) is true. However, the range of the force doesn't explain its fundamental nature as a quark interaction.
