Question

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Nothing goes waste in forest.
Reason (R) : Decomposers act on dead plant and animals converting them into humus.
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 explation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is NOT the correct explation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Hint:

Forest Ecosystem Recycling: Dead biomass $\xrightarrow{\text{Decomposers}}$ Humus $\xrightarrow{\text{Mineralization}}$ Plant Nutrients $\rightarrow$ Zero Waste!

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A
