NISHANTH · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: A
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Plant cultivation techniques without soil.
	**Related Topics**: Hydroponics, Aeroponics, Aquaponics
	**Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of plant growth and different growing mediums.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	Two statements related to soilless plant cultivation techniques need to be completed.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. **Hydroponics:** Growing plants in nutrient-rich water without soil.
		Reasoning: This is the definition of hydroponics.
	2. **Aeroponics:** Growing plants with their roots suspended in the air and periodically sprayed with a nutrient solution.
		Reasoning: This is the definition of aeroponics.
	3. **Combining the definitions:** The given statements perfectly match the definitions of hydroponics and aeroponics, respectively.
		Result: Hydroponics, Aeroponics
## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] ✓: Hydroponics is the technique of growing plants without soil, using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent. Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without soil or an aggregate medium.
[B] :x: Aquaponics combines conventional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as snails, fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. This doesn't fit the second statement.
[C] :x:  This reverses the correct order and mismatches the definitions.
[D] :x: Geoponics refers to soil-based agriculture, which contradicts the given information.
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Confusing hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics: Pay close attention to the medium used - water for hydroponics, air/mist for aeroponics, and a combination of aquaculture and hydroponics for aquaponics.
		2. Misinterpreting the descriptions: Carefully analyze the definitions and match them to the given statements.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Remember 'hydro' relates to water (hydroponics) and 'aero' relates to air (aeroponics).
		2. Visualize the methods: Imagine plants growing in water for hydroponics and roots suspended in mist for aeroponics.
