Read the statements (A) and (R) carefully and choose the correct option.

(A) : Using resources carefully and giving them time to get renewed is called resource conservation.
(R) : Balancing the need to use resources and also conserve them for the future is called sustainable development.

  • A.(A) is false but (R) is true.
  • B.Both the statements (A) and (R) are true and (R) explains (A).
  • C.Both the statements (A) and (R) are true but (R) does not explain (A).
  • D.(A) is true but (R) is false.

Answer: C

Both statements are true, but (R) does not explain (A).

Statement A is the textbook definition of resource conservation: using resources carefully and giving them time to get renewed. Statement R is the textbook definition of sustainable development: balancing the need to use resources with conserving them for the future.

The two are related ideas, but R is a separate definition of a different term. It does not give the reason why careful use of resources is called conservation, so it is not an explanation of A. Since neither statement is false, the options saying A or R is false are wrong too.
