Question

Assertion (A): There is rising cost for pollinator-dependent fruits and vegetables.
Reason (R): Many pollinators are disrupted as they exist in isolation.

• A. Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation for A.
• B. Both A and R are correct, but R is not the correct explanation for A.
• C. A is correct but R is incorrect.
• D. A is incorrect but R is correct.

Hint:

The disruption of pollinators has a significant impact on crop yields, leading to higher costs for pollinator-dependent crops.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

As the assertion states, the cost for pollinator-dependent fruits and vegetables is rising due to the disruption of pollinators in isolation. The reason correctly explains that pollinators are disrupted due to their isolation, which in turn affects crop yields.
