{'seasonal variation': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'atmospheric humidity': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'coastal regions': [1, 0, 3, 1], 'temperature': [0, 1, 1, 7]}

Option 1: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

This option states that both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. This means that not only is the assertion true, but the reason provided also explains why it is true. However, this option is not correct because the reason provided does not explain why there is less seasonal variation of temperature in coastal regions compared to interior areas. The reason given talks about the seasonal variation of atmospheric humidity, which is not directly related to temperature. Therefore, option 1 is incorrect.

Option 2: Both A and R are true, but R is NOT a correct explanation of A.

This option states that both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion. This means that while both statements are true, the reason given does not provide a valid explanation for why the assertion is true. This is the correct answer because the reason provided is not relevant to the assertion.

Option 3: A is true, but R is false.

This option states that the assertion (A) is true, but the reason (R) is false
