The correct answer is: Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$
Both A and $\mathrm{R}$ true and $\mathrm{R}$ is the correct explanation of A.
"Although the electromagnetic force is far stronger than gravity, it tends to cancel itself out within large objects, so over the largest distances (on the scale of planets and galaxies), gravity is the dominant force."
