Solution

The correct option is C A is true but R is false
According to Gauss's theorem,

For any closed surface, the net flux of the electric field passing through that surface is proportional to the total charge enclosed in it.

Therefore, assertion is true.

Electric field at any point on the gaussian surface is depends on all the charges in the vicinity of the gaussian suface. Thus, reason is false.
