Answer
(d) Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)..
Both statements are true. Hitler did demand Danzig — a German-speaking port placed under the League of Nations by the Treaty of Versailles — and Nazi propaganda did accuse Poland of ill-treating the German minority. But the second does not EXPLAIN the first: the atrocity claim was a separate pretext manufactured to justify the invasion, not the reason Hitler wanted Danzig. His real motive was territorial — undoing Versailles and securing Lebensraum. Hence both true, but (R) is not the explanation.
