The correct answer is: Both (A) and (R) are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of $\mathrm{A}$
Increase in temperature in an endothermic resolution process enhance the kinetic energy of the solvent molecules by allowing them to break apart more efficiently. This results into the more solubility of solute molecules.
