Answer 2

Answer:

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

Explanation:

• Although the reason does not adequately explain the assertion, both the reason and the assertion are true. A plantation is an agricultural estate designed for farming that specializes in income crops. It is often centered on a plantation house and is mostly planted with one crop, with possibly auxiliary sections for vegetables for eating and other crops.
• The production of plantations is primarily for the commercial market, so it is necessary that there is an effective network of transportation and communication that connects the plantations with processing industries and markets. Examples of plantations include rubber plantations, palm plantations, tea and coffee plantations, banana plantations, etc.

Thus the correct option is B.
