Answer
Both A and R are true and R explains A.
Reason — Natural resources are indeed being depleted due to overuse and misuse (A is true). The growing demand for economic and industrial growth is a major cause of over-exploitation of natural resources (R is true), and this growing demand is exactly what drives the overuse and misuse. Hence R correctly explains A.
