Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R) :
Assertion (A) : Energy production from biomass has traditionally been considered carbon neutral.
Reason (R) : Carbon dioxide emissions from combustion of biomass are sequestered by growing biomass
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A.
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- B.
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
- C.
(A) is true but (R) is false
- D.
(A) is false but (R) is true

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Biomass energy has traditionally been treated as carbon neutral because the carbon dioxide released during combustion can be taken up again by growing biomass. Hence both A and R are true, and R explains A.
