Organisms and Populations

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A : The logistic growth model of populations is considered more realistic than the exponential growth model. Reason R : Resources are finite. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

  1. (A)Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
  2. (B)Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A
  3. (C)A is correct but R is not correct
  4. (D)A is not correct but R is correct
