Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)”.

India has a written constitution. Growth of strong regional parties is an indicator of regional aspirations.

However, the growth of regional parties is not a direct explanation for the existence of a written constitution in India.
