Show answer & explanation

Answer: (D) D

Explanation

The Constitution came into force on 26 January 1950, and that day is celebrated as Republic Day, so both statements are true. Saying it is celebrated as Republic Day does not explain why the Constitution came into force then (the date was chosen to honour the 1930 Purna Swaraj declaration), so R is not the explanation of A.
