The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that "Infection of urethra is more common in males than in females." This implies that males are more prone to urinary tract infections (UTIs) compared to females. 2. **Evaluating the Assertion**: This statement is incorrect. In reality, urinary tract infections are more common in females than in males. This is primarily due to anatomical differences. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason provided states that "Urethra is shorter in males than in females." This suggests that the length of the urethra is a factor influencing the rate of infection. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: This statement is also incorrect. The urethra is actually shorter in females than in males. The female urethra is approximately 4 cm long, while the male urethra is about 20 cm long. 5. **Connecting the Assertion and Reason**: Since both the assertion and the reason are false, we conclude that the assertion about males being more prone to infections is incorrect, and the reason stating that males have a shorter urethra is also incorrect. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are false. **Final Answer**: Both assertion and reason are false. ---
