Detailed Solution

Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
Among renewable resources, groundwater is one example. Similar to how plants and crops are replenished by nature. Even these tools might be overused, though. In the case of groundwater, for instance, we would be overusing this resource if we used more than what was being replenished by rain. Resources that cannot be filled after a certain amount of time are known as non-renewable resources. Our supply is limited and cannot be replenished on earth. When a resource is exploited beyond what is sustainable, this is referred to as overusing the resource. The replenishment of the resource would be impossible when used in this way.
