Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Sweet potato plants will not flower when the light period exceeds the critical photoperiod.
Reason (R) : Sweet potato is propagated using vine cuttings.
In 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:

To check if the Reason (R) explains Assertion (A), read them together using "because":
"Sweet potato will not flower under long days BECAUSE sweet potato is propagated by vine cuttings."
This statement does not make logical sense, indicating that both are true independent facts.
