Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Warmer seas do release carbon dioxide and raise its level in the air, so the assertion holds, but the reason misstates the chemistry.

Gases dissolve less in warm water, so heating the ocean lowers, not raises, its ability to hold carbon dioxide.

As the surface warms, the ocean gives up dissolved carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

The reason claims solubility increases with temperature, which is the opposite of what happens.

Because the reason is factually wrong, it cannot explain the correct assertion.

This warming and outgassing forms a feedback that can accelerate atmospheric carbon dioxide rise.
