Question

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Areas near the Equator receive rainfall in a particular season only for few months.
Reason (R) : High temperatures and high humidity conditions causes the rain in afternoons.
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:

Remember that equatorial regions are characterized by a "no-season" climate.
Every day is warm and humid, and almost every day has an afternoon shower.
This continuous, year-round rainfall cycle is a defining feature of the tropical rainforest biome.
