(A): Polar ice melts, day will be longer.
(R): Moment of inertia increases and thus angular velocity decreases.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

Option A (Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)) is correct because melting polar ice increases the Earth's moment of inertia, decreasing angular velocity and lengthening the day.
