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 incorrect but (R) is correct.

• (A) is correct but (R) is incorrect.

Answer 1

(A) is incorrect but (R) is correct.

Explanation:

Assertion: The assertion claims that there is a sharp distinction (total separation) between physical elements and humans. Humans and the environment interact continuously, therefore modern geography does not sustain this hard division. Thus, the assertion is incorrect.

Reason: The reason is that nature and mankind are closely linked. This highlights the fundamental concept of human geography and environmental interaction, in which humans alter nature while nature influences human existence. Thus, the reasoning is correct.
