Question

Assertion (A): Biodegradable materials are harmful to the environment.

Reason (R): Biodegradable materials take a long time to decompose and can cause pollution if not disposed of properly.

विकल्प

• Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

• Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

A is false but R is true.

Explanation:

Biodegradable materials are generally not harmful to the environment because microorganisms can naturally decompose them. Therefore, Assertion (A) is false.

If biodegradable materials are not disposed of properly, they can accumulate temporarily and cause pollution or other environmental problems. Therefore, Reason (R) is true.

Hence, A is false but R is true.
