Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : The micro-environment of butter is relatively unfavourable for the growth of microorganisms.
Reason (R) : Butter contains high fat and low moisture content.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

• 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.

Hint:

The physical structure of butter as a water-in-oil emulsion physically traps bacteria inside tiny, nutrient-limited water droplets, preventing them from multiplying or spreading.
