The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason related to air sacs in Aves (birds), we can break it down into the following steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Air sacs in Aves are connected to lungs and supplement in respiration." - This statement is true. Air sacs are indeed a part of the respiratory system in birds and play a crucial role in respiration by facilitating a continuous flow of air through the lungs. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided is that "It increases the area of gaseous exchange." - This statement is also true. The presence of air sacs allows for a larger surface area for gas exchange, which enhances the efficiency of respiration in birds. 3. **Connecting Assertion and Reason**: - Both the assertion and the reason are correct. - The reason explains why the assertion is true: the air sacs increase the surface area available for gas exchange, which is essential for the high metabolic demands of birds. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - We need to determine which option correctly describes the relationship between the assertion and reason. - The first option states that both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. This aligns with our analysis. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: - The correct option is: **Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.** ---
