A: Commercial fisheries have not developed in tropics.

R: The demand for marine food from low income population is low in the tropics.

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

Both A and R are individually true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

A is true but R is false.

A is false but R is true.

Explanation:

Marine Fishery Production. Marine fisheries are conducted in all the oceans and seas of the world, including bays and estuaries . The capture and culture of aquatic organisms in salt water accounts for the bulk of the fishery products that reach world markets.
Tropical fishing is confined within tropical areas (30° north and south of Equator). Compared to temperate commercial fishing, tropical fishing is insignificant—both in terms of quality and quantity. But contrary to the generation notion that tropical areas have no commercial fishing activities, tropical areas are registering significant growth in fish production. The major tropical fish-producing countries are China (first in fish production), Peru and Chile (second and fourth, respectively), Indonesia (seventh), India (ninth), Thailand (Eighth), Sri Lanka etc. Most of these countries are late starters in fish production.
So, A is true but R is false.
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
