Question

Assertion A: Hardwood trees are found in equatorial evergreen Forest.

Reasoning R: Lumbering is not developed on a commercial level in equatorial regions.

Options

• Only A is correct.

• Only R is correct.

• Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

• Both A and R are correct and R is not the correct explanation of A.

Answer 1

Both A and R are correct and R is not the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

R does not directly explain A, because the presence of hardwood trees doesn't always mean that logging is developing. Commercial lumbering is challenging due to variables such as deep woods, a lack of infrastructure, and an unfavourable environment, rather than the presence of hardwood trees alone.
