B Both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion
C The assertion is true, but the reason is false
D The assertion is false, but the reason is true

Prithviraj Raso is treated as part of Rajasthan literary heritage, and literature often carries memory of society and identity. That is why the reason directly supports the assertion.

Q5Which assessment prompt best checks Rajasthan heritage and culture understanding without rote listing?
