Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and R is the correct explanation of A. |
The correct answer is Option 1: Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and R is the correct explanation of A. Assertion: In southern states and West Bengal, farmers cultivate two or three crops of rice in an agricultural year. This statement is true. Due to favourable climatic conditions and availability of water, multiple rice crops can be grown in these regions. Reasoning: In southern states and West Bengal, the temperature is high enough to grow tropical crops during any period in the year provided the soil moisture is available. This statement is also true. These areas experience warm temperatures throughout the year, which support continuous crop cultivation if moisture is sufficient. Why R correctly explains A: Rice is a tropical crop requiring high temperature and moisture. Since southern states and West Bengal remain warm throughout the year, farmers are able to grow two or even three rice crops annually whenever adequate soil moisture or irrigation is available. |
