Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- A is not correct but R is correct
- Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
- Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A
- A is correct but R is not correct
Answer
(2) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
Solution
In nature, resources (food and space) are limited and finite; no population can grow exponentially indefinitely. Hence, the logistic growth model, which accounts for carrying capacity due to limited resources, is considered more realistic. Reason correctly explains Assertion.
Answer: (2)
