    Product standardisation means that the firm sells and advertises a standardized product in the international context.  As firm do not manufacture a new product so manufacturing cost and marketing cost for the company is least.
    As different markets differ in terms of culture, tradition, level of income, taste, fashion etc. so many times a firm may require some adaption for making the product suitable to the foreign market.
    Both the statements are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
