BBoth (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) ✓ Correct
C(A) is true, but (R) is false
D(A) is false, but (R) is true
Correct answer: (B) Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) — Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A), so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A), so that is the answer.
★The assertion says animal dung is biodegradable, which is true.
★The reason says recycling is best for non-biodegradable waste like nylon, which is also true.
★But recycling of nylon has nothing to do with why dung is biodegradable.
★So the reason does not explain the assertion.
★So both are true, yet (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
