Read the following statements and choose the correct option:
Assertion (A): The National Green Hydrogen Mission is designed to minimise reliance on fossil fuels.
Reason (R): The mission is implemented by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC).
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. A is true, but R is false.
The Assertion (A) is correct because the National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to promote clean hydrogen production, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and support India’s transition to a low-carbon economy. However, the Reason (R) is false. The mission is not implemented by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC). Instead, it is carried out by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). Since the Reason is factually incorrect, it cannot explain the correct Assertion. Therefore, the correct relationship is that A is true, but R is false.
