Solution

The correct option is B If both assertion and reason are false

The chemicals used to eliminate pests are called pesticides.

Pesticides include insecticides (for killing insects), weedicides (for killing weeds), rodenticides (for killing rats) and fungicides (for killing fungi).

So, all pesticides are not only insecticides.

Pesticides do not add any essential nutrients to the soil.

So, both the assertion and reason are false.
