Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Deciduous trees are planted on the southern side of any plot in warm and humid climatic zones.
Reason (R): Teak, Sisham and Sagwan trees are examples of deciduous trees that undergo major seasonal changes during different seasons. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Hint:

In climatic landscape design:
• Deciduous trees $\rightarrow$ Seasonal shade control
• Evergreen trees $\rightarrow$ Continuous shading and wind protection Always check whether the Reason directly explains the Assertion in assertion-reason questions.
