Question

Assertion (A): Birds avoid migrating to places where noise level is above 100 dB.

Reason (R): Doctors and scientists have now medically confirmed that noise disturbs living organisms.

Options

• 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:

Birds avoid migrating to areas where noise levels are above 100 dB because excessive noise disturbs their communication, navigation, and overall well-being. Doctors and scientists have confirmed that high noise levels can cause stress and disrupt the behavior of living organisms, which explains why birds avoid such environments during migration.
