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)- Environment and economy are interdependent and need each other.

Reason (R)- The concept of sustainable development was emphasised by the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED).

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

Any kind of development that ignores its repercussions on the environment will destroy it, resulting in poor sustainability of life forms. Thus, we can say that environment and economy are interdependent and need each other.
