Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. Explanation: Sugarcane grows well in tropical regions with well-distributed rainfall throughout the year. However, prolonged heavy rains reduce sucrose content, and insufficient rainfall leads to a fibrous crop, thus explaining the conditions for optimal sugarcane growth and quality of the crop.
