Answer

Correct option: B.
Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
In sexual reproduction the offsprings, although similar to their parents, are not identical to them or to one another. This is because the offsprings receive some genes from the mother and some from the father. Because of the mixing of genes of mother and father in various different combinations, all the offsprings have genetic variations means that a species can adapt more quickly to changes in its environment. This is because there are always likely to be some individuals which are more suited to the changes than others, and these individuals will survive and reproduce themselves.
Sexual reproduction plays an important role in the origin of new species having different characteristics.
