Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other as Reason (R) -
Assertion (A) - Population control is necessary to maintain the environment of the country.
Reason (R) - Due to the rapid increase in population, the environmental balance is maintained.
Select the correct answer using the code given below -
Code -
Explanation
Assertion (A) is correct because population control is essential for environmental sustainability. Rapid population growth leads to the over-exploitation of natural resources, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and increased pollution, all of which degrade the environment. To maintain ecological health and ensure resources for future generations, managing population size is necessary.
Reason (R) is incorrect. A rapid increase in population does not maintain environmental balance; instead, it disrupts it. When the human population exceeds the carrying capacity of an ecosystem, it leads to ecological imbalance and environmental stress. Therefore, Assertion (A) is a true statement, while Reason (R) is false.
