Assertion (A): Industries contribute significantly to India’s economic growth and development.

Reason (R): The increase in pollution of land, water, air,noise and resulting degradation of environment that they have caused, cannot be overlooked.

Answer:

So the correct answer is (b) - Both Assertion (a) and Reason (r) are true but reason (r) is not the correct explanation of assertion (a).

Explanation

• Assertion (a): Industries contribute significantly to  India’s economic growth and development. Thus assertion is true.
• Reasoning (r): The increase in pollution of land, water, air, and noise and the resulting degradation of the environment that they have caused, cannot be overlooked. Thus reasoning is true.
• Industries' contribution to the economy is not related to the pollution created by them. Thus, Reasoning (r) is not a correct explanation of Assertion (a).

Thus,

• Assertion is true
• Reasoning is true
• and Reasoning is not the correct explanation of Assertion

So, the correct answer is (b).
