Solution

The correct option is A Both A and R are true and R explains A
Human beings are equally dependent on both plants and animals for food and other resources. But all the desired qualities are not present in one particular animal or plant. Therefore, human beings practice animal/plant breeding to bring the desired qualities and behaviour, that are advantageous to humans by deliberately altering the genetic makeup of a particular plant or animal.
