Reason (R): Deforestation leads to rise in temperature.

विकल्प

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.

• Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.

Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation:

• Assertion (A) is true because coal industries and thermal power plants do spread air pollution through smoke and emissions.
• Reason (R) is also true because deforestation leads to a rise in temperature due to loss of tree cover.
• However, the rise in temperature caused by deforestation is not the reason why coal industries and thermal power plants spread air pollution. The cause of air pollution from these plants is primarily due to their emissions, independent of deforestation.
