Answer
Both A and R are true but R does not explain A.
Explanation — The fact that natural gas is lighter than air does not explain why it is eco-friendly. The eco-friendliness of natural gas comes from its low carbon emissions, not its ability to disperse. Hence, Reason (R) does not explain Assertion (A).
