Assertion (A) : Increase in carbon dioxide would melt polar ice.
Reason (R) : Global temperature would rise.

A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

B. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

C. A is true but R is false.

With increase in the proportion of carbon dioxide,
therefore, the global temperature would rise,
thus causing the polar ice to melt.
