Reason (R): Myoglobin and toxic substances released from the affected muscle damage renal tubules resulting in renal failure.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The Correct Option is A

Crush syndrome involves the release of myoglobin and other toxic substances from crushed muscles, which can lead to renal failure due to damage to the renal tubules. This explanation directly links the trauma to kidney damage, confirming both the assertion and reason.
