Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Tuberization in sweet potato is almost absent at 75% shade and severely affected at 55% shade and not much affected at 25% shade.
Reason (R): Warm sunny days and cool nights are favourable for better tuber development in sweet potato.
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:

To maximize sweet potato yields, plant in open fields with full solar exposure. Avoid intercropping systems that shade the crop canopy by more than 25%.
