Detailed Solution

Sugar being a covalent compound has formula $C_{12} H_{22} O_{11}$ where as $KCl$ is an ionic compound.
Since, Relative lowering of vapor pressure (RLVP) is literature driven colligative property, thus it increases with the increase in species present in solution.
Here, $KCl$ dissociated into K⁺ and Cl^-thus forming two ions in solution and having higher species in solution compared to sugar, thus RLVP_sugar>RLVP_KCl.
Hence, correct option is: (A) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
