Answer 1

The correct option is A Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

Like other resources, the population is also a resource—a human resource. In fact, it is more important than other resources like land or capital. All other resources are of less use if a country does not have a quality human resource. To increase the quality of human resources, they should be provided with quality education and health facilities.
