D(A) is false, but (R) is true

Explanation

Both statements are true and the reason correctly explains the assertion.

The assertion that composting is the best way to dispose of plant waste holds because plant matter is wet and organic.

The reason states that composting converts wet waste into manure, which is exactly why it suits plant waste.

Turning organic residue into useful manure is what makes composting the preferred route.

The reason names the very mechanism behind the assertion, making it the correct explanation.

Composting also cuts the volume of waste sent to landfills.
