Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is option 3: Assertion (A) is true but Reasoning (R) is not correct.
Neo determinism means that possibilities can be created within the limits which do not damage the environment and there is no free run without accidents.
Assertion: The neo-determinism conceptually attempts to bring a balance nullifying the either or dichotomy. Correct. Neo-determinism tries to establish a balanced relationship between humans and the environment. It rejects both extreme environmental determinism and absolute possibilism.
Reasoning: Neo determinism means that possibilities cannot be created within the limits which do not damage the environment and there is no free run without accidents. Incorrect. The statement is incorrectly framed. Neo-determinism actually means that human activities and possibilities should be developed within environmental limits so that the environment is not damaged. The wording given in the Reasoning changes the intended meaning and makes the statement incorrect.
