Evaluate the following Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and choose the correct option.

Assertion

Assertion (A): A particle starts from x = 0, moves to x = +5 m and then to x = -3 m. Its total distance is 13 m and its displacement is -3 m.

Reason

Reason (R): Distance depends on the actual path travelled, whereas displacement depends only on the initial and final positions.
