Detailed Solution

(A) is true but (R) is false.
Power is distributed among the three organs of the government-Legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary.
Under horizontal allocation of power, different organs of the authority (legislative, executive, and judiciary) are placed in the same position to exercise distant powers. Such a strategy of power-sharing is called "checks and balances." This is because this arrangement ensures that none of the institutions exercises unlimited power. The legislative makes laws for the country in parliament, whereas the executive implements these laws throughout the country. The Judiciary in India checks the nature of rules made by parliament. In this way, one organ of the government keeps a check on the other and vice versa. As a result, a power balance exists among the institutions.
