Assertion (A) : Increase in carbon dioxide would melt polar ice.
Reason (R) : Global temperature would rise.

  • A.Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  • B.Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
  • C.A is true but R is false.
  • D.A is false but R is true.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Carbon dioxide traps outgoing infrared radiation, so more of it raises the global temperature - and it is warmer air and oceans that melt the polar ice. The rise in temperature is the mechanism linking the two. Both are true and R explains A.
