Select the most appropriate answers from the options given below :

• B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
• C. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
• D. Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- Assertion (A): A well-lighted and ventilated kitchen is necessary for a comfortable cooking environment and to ensure safety. Good lighting and ventilation help to reduce the buildup of heat and moisture, which are essential in maintaining hygiene. Hence,
Assertion (A) is true.
- Reason (R): Windows and doors having a wire mesh help to keep insects and pests out while allowing ventilation. The idea that windows and doors should not have a wire mesh contradicts the need for proper ventilation and pest control in the kitchen.
Therefore, Reason (R) is false.
