Identify the correct co-relation in the given statements and write (A: Assertion, R: Reasoning):A: Hardwood trees are found in equatorial evergreen Forest.R: Lumbering is not developed on a commercial level in equatorial regions.

Answer: D. Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer: (D) Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A

Equatorial forests have hardwood trees such as mahogany, ebony and rosewood, so A is correct. Lumbering there is not commercial because the trees of one species do not grow together, the forest is dense, transport is difficult and the climate is unhealthy, so R is also correct. But R does not explain why hardwood trees grow there (that is due to heavy rainfall and high temperature).
