Detailed Solution

Both Assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Democracy is a better form of government when compared to other forms of government systems. It also has scope for correcting its mistakes. In a democracy, there is no guarantee that errors will not be made. The benefit of a democratic system is that such mistakes cannot be hidden for long and come out quickly. There is a place for public debate and discussion on these errors and to look for ways to correct them. There is room for improvement. The rulers' decisions must be modified, or the rulers can be replaced as democracies have provisions for free and fair elections. Rulers must adapt their choices, or they risk being changed. As a result, while democracy may not be a panacea for all issues, it is preferable to other administration and governance systems under non-democratic regimes.
