Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : Intense weathering of soil shifts its Zero Point Charge towards higher pH owing to greater accumulation of iron and aluminum oxides.
Reason (R) : The application of organic matter in soil also pushes the soil Zero Point Charge towards higher pH.

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : Manganese deficiency in plants primarily affects the photosynthetic process.
Reason (R) : Manganese is a cofactor for several enzymes involved in the photosynthetic electron transport chain, facilitating electron transfer reactions within chloroplasts.

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : Gypsum is commonly used for the reclamation of sodic soil.
Reason (R) : Reclamation process involves reduction in exchangeable sodium with calcium and its removal from soil solution through leaching.

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : Implementing agroforestry practices helps in soil conservation.
Reason (R) : Agroforestry combines the cultivation of trees and crops on the same land, which reduces soil erosion by providing ground cover and enhancing soil structure through the roots of trees.
