Result

Your answer: — · Correct: D

Explanation

Assertion (A) is correct. The concept of Sustainable Development was indeed popularized by the 1987 report titled 'Our Common Future', produced by the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED), chaired by Gro Harlem Brundtland.

Reason (R) is incorrect. The Brundtland Report is officially titled 'Our Common Future'. 'The Limits to Growth' is a completely different report published in 1972 by the Club of Rome, which used computer modeling to predict the consequences of rapid population growth and resource depletion. Since the Brundtland Report and 'The Limits to Growth' are distinct documents from different eras and organizations, the Reason is factually false.
