पर्याय

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

• Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false, but R is true.

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

Both statements are true. Open dumping is highly harmful to nature because it lacks any protective engineering barriers. This is one of the primary reasons it destroys the environment: waste material left in open piles is frequently set on fire, releasing thick, toxic smoke that directly pollutes the surrounding air. Because this air pollution is a major reason open dumping is not environmentally friendly, this correctly explains the assertion.
