Solution

The correct option is B

Assertion:- True

Reason:- True

Reason is not the correct explanation of assertion


Plastics are used as a substitute for glass and metal because they are lightweight, strong, ductile, and poor conductors of heat and electricity. They resist corrosion and are resistant to many chemicals. Moreover, we should avoid the use of plastics because they are non-biodegradable substances (not decomposed by the action of decomposers) and hence they pollute the environment, block drains and harm animals. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
