A: India built dams and reservoirs to manage water resources.

R: India had enough experience in canals.

Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Both A and R are individually true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

A is true but R is false.

A is false but R is true.

Explanation:

A dam is built to control water through placement of a blockage of earth, rock and/or concrete across a stream or river. Dams are usually constructed to store water in a reservoir, which is then used for a variety of applications such as irrigation and municipal water supplies.
The most widespread irrigation system in India was undertaken in India in the medieval period by the Sultanate rulers. Firuz Shah Tughalq (1309-1388) built the most extensive canal irrigation system around the Indo-Gangetic doab and the region west of the river Yamuna in the fourteenth century.
So, Both A and R are individually true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
