Detailed Solution

The assertion is correct, but the reason is false.
Although the statement "China's famine of 1961–1963 was the worst recorded famine in world history" is accurate, the explanation is untrue. The "great Chinese famine" occurred in China between 1961 and 1963. The implementation of numerous programmes at once or a combination of radical agricultural policies, social pressure, poor economic management, and floods in farming districts were the causes of this famine. In China, this was a time of low agricultural output, a food crisis, and widespread famine. In China, this famine was known as the "Great Leap Forward." The number of people who perished due to this famine was the highest in recorded history.
