Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. Explanation: Extreme climates (very hot or very cold) are unfavourable for locating industries because they can reduce the availability and quality of raw materials (especially for agro‑based industries) and also lower worker efficiency, so the effect on raw materials is a direct reason why such climates discourage industrial location.
