In the question given below there are 2 statements marked as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Choose the correct alternative from the following options.

Assertion (A)- Thermal power plants emit large quantities of carbon dioxide which is a green house gas.

Reason (R)- Hydroelectric projects inundate forests and interfere with the natural flow of water in catchment areas and the river basins.

Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

India is hugely dependent on thermal and hydro power plants to meet its power needs. But both of them have an adverse impact on environment. Thus, use of non conventional source of energy should be promoted.
