Solution

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

Explanation:

Assertion is true because reusing items extends their life cycle, which decreases the demand for raw materials and conserves natural resources. Reason is also true, but it describes methods of reducing waste (like using cloth bags or containers) rather than directly explaining how reusing materials conserves resources.
