Answer 1

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

Explanation:

• Assertion (A) is true because agriculture is classified as a primary sector activity, which involves the extraction and harvesting of natural resources.
• Reason (R) is also true because nature, including factors like soil, climate, water, and natural conditions, plays a vital role in agricultural production. Agriculture depends directly on natural resources for growing crops and raising livestock.
