Answer
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Explanation — Climate (temperature and rainfall conditions) directly affects the kind of crops that can be grown. Certain crops need warm climates ( like cotton, sugarcane, jute and rice), while others like wheat, corn and mustard grow in cooler climates. These climate zones correspond to tropical and temperate latitudes.
