Option 1 states that both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

Assertion (A) states that Classical Sanskrit literature reached its pinnacle during the time of Kalidas. This means that the literature produced during Kalidas` time was considered the highest point of achievement in Sanskrit literature.

Reason (R) states that the Gupta period is the classical period of Sanskrit literature. The Gupta period, which spanned from the 4th to the 6th century CE, is often referred to as the "golden age" of Sanskrit literature. Many literary works, including those of Kalidas, were produced during this period.

Therefore, in this case, both A and R are true, and R provides the correct explanation for A. The reason behind the statement that Classical Sanskrit literature reached its pinnacle during the time of Kalidas is because he was one of the most prominent writers during the Gupta period.
