    Question

    Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R:
    Assertion A: Drainage increases the soil temperature.
    Reason R: Drainage decreases the heat capacity.
    In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer:

    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

    Correct option is A


    Drainage improves soil aeration, reducing waterlogged conditions, which allows faster heating of soil due to lower heat capacity. Since water has a high heat capacity, its removal (via drainage) decreases the soil's heat capacity, resulting in increased temperature.
