Detailed Solution

Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
The statement that the first symbol of the new era was cotton is true.

However, the reason is not the correct explanation of the provided assertion. The industrialists did not want to introduce machines as there was no shortage of labor in Victorian Britain.
