The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "The second largest digestive gland in our body is liver." - This statement is **false** because the liver is actually the **largest** digestive gland in the human body, while the **pancreas** is the second largest. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Liver functions as an endocrine gland." - This statement is also **false**. The liver primarily functions as a digestive gland, producing bile and other substances for digestion. While the liver does have some endocrine functions (like producing certain hormones), it is not classified primarily as an endocrine gland. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, the correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are false. ---
