Solution
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.
