Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Benzimidazole resistance is common in Haemonchus contortus infecting sheep and goats at organized farms in India
Reason (R) : Benzimidazole resistance is diagnosed by faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT)
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:

Always ask "Why?" after reading the Assertion. If the Reason answers "Why", then (R) is the correct explanation. Here: "Benzimidazole resistance is common... because it is diagnosed by FECRT." This statement does not make logical sense, meaning (R) is not the explanation.
