{'cotton industry india': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'cotton mills': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'cotton': [2, 0, 0, 2], 'western pakistan': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'independence': [1, 0, 1, 2]}

Option 1 states that both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are individually true, and that R provides the correct explanation for A.

The assertion states that the cotton industry in India suffered a major recession soon after independence. This is true, as the cotton industry did face significant challenges during that period.

The reason provided states that most of the cotton mills went to western Pakistan while India retained only the cotton growing area. This is also true, as during the partition of India in 1947, many cotton mills were located in the areas that became part of Pakistan.

The reason (R) explains why the assertion (A) is true. The loss of cotton mills to Pakistan meant that India had to rebuild its cotton industry, leading to a downturn in the immediate aftermath of independence.

Therefore, option 1 is the correct answer. Both A and R are true, and R provides a correct explanation for A.
