Assertion (A) : Consumption of plenty of fruits and vegetables protects individual from degenerative changes in the body.
Reason (R) : The antioxidants present in fruits and vegetables help in the removal of free radicals.
Codes :
Answer: C
Both statements are true. A good intake of fruits and vegetables protects against degenerative changes, and the reason is that their antioxidants remove free radicals which damage cells and tissues.
Since the antioxidant action is the way the protection works, the reason also explains the assertion. The options calling either statement false are wrong, so option C is correct. Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage cell membranes and DNA, which is linked to ageing and diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
