    This is a  Assertion Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

    Option (i)

     i.e., Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A is the answer since pesticides are the synthetic toxic chemicals with ecological repercussions and their repeated use gives rise to pests that are resistant to that group of pesticides and hence making the pesticides ineffective. Therefore, as insect resistance of DDT increased, other organic toxins such as Aldrin and Dieldrin got introduced in the market by the pesticide industry. Most of the organic toxins are water insoluble and are non-biodegradable.
