    A heavy downpour helps reduce humidity in the atmosphere. Reason (R): Rain occurs when the atmosphere can no longer hold additional moisture.
    A Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation for (A). Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) correctly explains (A). Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C (A) is true, but (R) is false. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D (A) is false, but (R) is true. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Rain occurs when the upper atmosphere can no longer hold more water. However, a downpour increases humidity in the air near the Earth's surface. Thus, (A) is false, but (R) is true.   Hence, the correct answer is (D).
