Solution
A is true, but R is false.
Explanation:
The absence of proper waste management leads to the accumulation of waste, which provides favourable conditions for the breeding of insects and rodents. These pests can spread various diseases. Therefore, Assertion (A) is true, while Reason (R) is false because the accumulation of waste promotes rather than controls the breeding of insects and rodents.
