Q. No.Given below are two statements: One is labelled as
Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A):
The interaction, in which one species benefits and the other is neither harmed nor benefitted, is known as commensalism.
Reason (R):
Egrets always forage close to where the cattles are grazing, otherwise it is difficult for the egrets to find the insect and catch.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1.
Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2.
Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3.
(A) is True but (R) is False
4.
(A) is False but (R) is True.
