Options

B. If both the assertion and reason are ture but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
C. If the assertion is true but the reason is false
D. If both the assertion and reason are false

Answer

C

Explanation

Soil fertility is restored by recovery of minerals from decomposition of fallen leaves, twigs, dead roots, dead animals and animal excreta. Litter burning contributes very less `CO_(2)` emission and is not responsible for increased `CO_(2)` emission and is not responsible for increased `CO_(2)` content. But, litter burning deprives the soil from recovery of minerals.
