Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Manure is an organic substance that is obtained from decomposition of vegetable and animal waste.
Reason (R): Manure is readily soluble in water thus it is absorbed by plants quickly.
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:

Manure is like a "Slow-Cooker" for soil. It takes time to break down and isn't a "quick fix" like water-soluble chemical fertilizers.
