The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason provided, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion - **Assertion**: "Primary wall is capable of growth." - The primary wall is indeed a thin and flexible layer of the cell wall found in growing cells. It allows for cell expansion and growth. Therefore, this assertion is **true**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason - **Reason**: "It diminishes as the cell matures." - As cells mature, they often undergo changes that can lead to the thickening or modification of the cell wall. In many cases, the primary wall may be replaced or supplemented by a secondary wall, which is thicker and more rigid. However, the primary wall itself does not literally diminish in size; rather, it may be modified. Thus, this reason is **true**, but it does not correctly explain the assertion. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason - The assertion is true, and the reason is also true, but the reason does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion. The primary wall's capability for growth is not directly linked to its diminishing nature as the cell matures. ### Step 4: Choose the Correct Option - Based on the analysis: - Both assertion and reason are true. - The reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. - Therefore, the correct answer is: **Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.** ### Final Answer The correct option is: **Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.** ---
