B. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation.
C. A is false, but R is true.
D. A is true, but R is false.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The appendix is considered vestigial (reduced and non-essential), but recent studies suggest it may have a minor immune function or serve as a reservoir for gut bacteria. So R is not entirely true (it may have a function). Thus, A is true but R is false (no function is an oversimplification).
