Erosion of soil from the surface due to heavy and intense precipitation is accelerated due to the cutting of trees on a mass scale.
      A Both statements 'A' and 'R' are true but 'R' is not the correct explanation of 'A'. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      D Statement 'A' is true but statement 'R' is false. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      • Statement 'A' asserts that deforestation is undesirable due to its significant impact on soil erosion, which is true because the removal of trees can lead to increased soil erosion. • Statement 'R' provides a reason supporting statement 'A' by explaining that the cutting of trees on a large scale accelerates soil erosion, particularly due to the loss of tree roots that help hold soil in place, making 'R' the correct explanation of 'A'.
