Answer 1

Answer:

d. A is false but R is true

Answer 2

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

• Resource conservation is indeed the need of the hour due to the depletion and exploitation of resources.
• There is resource over exploitation and resources are on the verge of being depleted. Nature consists of a finite quantity of resources, but irresponsible usage by individuals causes depletion.
• The concept of sustainable development is the growth fulfilling current demands instead of losing the potential of future ages to fulfill their demands It does not focus entirely in resource conservation.
• Thus, Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
