Solution
The correct option is A If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
Rubling and Tyler (1979) showed that air dried mosses can absorb metals. The accumulation of heavy metal cations in mosses enables them to be used as pollution indicators.
So, the correct answer is 'If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion'
