Question
Read the given statements, labeled Assertion (A) and
Reason (R), and select the most appropriate option with respect to them Statements: A. Deforestation is undesirable because of its heavy impact on soil erosion. R. Erosion of soil from the surface due to heavy and intense precipitation is accelerated due to the cutting of trees on a mass scale.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'.
