Solution

The correct option is A Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Organic farming is a technique which involves the cultivation of plants in natural ways by the use of manures and avoiding chemical fertilisers to maintain soil fertility and ecological balance thereby minimising pollution and wastage.

Use of manure contributes to improved soil structure and greater water-holding capacity leading to decreased crop water stress, soil erosion, and increased nutrient retention.
