{'equatorial region': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'temperate region': [3, 0, 1, 0], 'rainfall': [4, 1, 7, 3], 'annual range': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'temperature': [0, 1, 1, 7]}

Option 1 states that both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are true, and that the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.

The assertion states that the annual range of temperature is less in the equatorial region compared to the sub-tropical or temperate region. This means that in the equatorial region, there is a smaller difference between the highest and lowest temperatures experienced throughout the year.

The reason given is that in the equatorial region, rainfall occurs all year round. This means that there is a consistent supply of moisture, which helps regulate the temperature and reduces temperature fluctuations.

Option 2 states that both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason is NOT a correct explanation for the assertion. This means that while the statement about the annual range of temperature in the equatorial region is true, the reason provided does not accurately explain why this is the case.

Since the provided answer states Option 2, it means that the assertion is true, but the reason given is not a correct explanation for it.
