Question

Assertion (A): In Australia, cattle rearing is done more for meat than for milk. Reason (R): Australians are traditionally non-vegetarians.

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is D because the Assertion is false and the Reason is true.

Assertion A is false because cattle rearing in Australia is actually balanced between meat and milk production, with a very strong emphasis on the dairy industry in the temperate south eastern and south western regions. Historically and economically, Australia is one of the worlds largest exporters of both beef and dairy products, making the claim that it is done more for meat than milk inaccurate in a general geographical context.

Reason R is true because the Australian population is traditionally and culturally predisposed toward a diet that includes meat, with high per capita consumption of beef, lamb, and poultry.

However, since the Assertion itself is factually incorrect regarding the primary purpose of cattle rearing across the continent, the correct option is D.
