Given below are two statements. One is labelled Assertion (A) and the other is labelled Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : The human skull is referred to as dicondylic skull.

Reason    (R)  : The skull bones are categorised into cranial bones and facial bones.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

The human skull is referred to as dicondylic because the skull region articulates with the superior region of the vertebral column with the help of two occipital condyles.
The categorisation of skull bones into cranial bones and facial bones is correct. The human skull consists of 8 cranial bones that encase and protect the brain, and 14 facial bones that form the structure of the face.
