Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R). Read the statements and choose the correct answer using the code given below.

Assertion (A): The term environmental sanitation is now being replaced by environmental health.

Reason (R): The demographic growth and slow urbanisation all over the world are bringing profound social and environmental changes.

The correct answer is: (A) is true, but (R) is false.

Assertion (A): The term environmental sanitation is now being replaced by environmental health.

Explanation:

• The assertion states that the term environmental sanitation is now being replaced by environmental health.
• Over the years, there has been a shift in focus and terminology within the field.
• Environmental sanitation traditionally referred to the management of waste, water supply, and other factors that contribute to maintaining a clean and healthy environment.
• However, the concept of environmental health encompasses a broader perspective, incorporating not only sanitation but also other factors such as air quality, pollution control, food safety, and overall well-being of individuals in relation to their environment.
• As a result, the term environmental health has gained prominence and is now commonly used to describe the broader scope of environmental management and public health.

Therefore, the assertion is true. 

Reason (R): The demographic growth and slow urbanization all over the world are bringing profound social and environmental changes. 

• The reason provided states that demographic growth and slow urbanization all over the world are bringing profound social and environmental changes.
• While demographic growth and urbanization can indeed have significant impacts on society and the environment, this reason does not directly relate to the assertion.
• It provides a general observation about the consequences of demographic growth and urbanization without specifically addressing the replacement of the term environmental sanitation with environmental health.

Therefore, the reason is not directly related to the assertion and is false.

Based on the above explanations, the correct answer is that assertion (A) is true, but reason (R) is false.
