• (A) is true but (B) is false.

• (A) and (B) are independent of each other.

Answer 1

(B) is the reason for (A).

Explanation:

India’s agricultural sector is dependent on the seasonal monsoon, which is notoriously unpredictable, unevenly distributed, and capable of bringing extreme weather such as massive floods or dry spells. Because natural rainfall patterns are so erratic and capable of destroying crops through sudden flooding or subsequent droughts, developing highly dependable artificial irrigation systems (such as tube wells or canals) is critical for controlling water supply and ensuring stable, year-round crop production.
