Assertion (A): The restoration of ecological balance is the main focus of drought prone area programme.
Reason (R): Growing population pressure is forcing to utilize the marginal lands for agriculture.

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
• B. (A) is incorrect but (R) is correct.
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is incorrect.

In Assertion-Reason questions, verify each statement independently first. Then check if the Reason logically explains the Assertion. Sometimes both are true but unrelated.
