Given below are two statements, an Assertion (A) and a Reason (R). Choose the correct answer.

Assertion (A):Animal dung is biodegradable.

Reason (R):The best solution to get rid of non-biodegradable waste such as nylon is recycling.

ABoth (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

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)

Explanation

Both statements are true but the reason does not explain the assertion.

The assertion that animal dung is biodegradable is true as microbes readily break it down.

The reason about recycling non-biodegradable nylon is a separate, valid point.

One statement concerns biodegradable dung while the other concerns non-biodegradable nylon.

Since they deal with different kinds of waste, the reason cannot explain the assertion.

Non-biodegradable items persist for decades, so recycling is the wiser way to handle them.
