AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided, and determine their truthfulness and relationship. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states, "Mostly mammals are viviparous." - Viviparous means that the organism gives birth to live young rather than laying eggs. - Most mammals do indeed give birth to live young, making this assertion true. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states, "Mammals have milk-producing glands." - This refers to mammary glands, which are characteristic of mammals and are responsible for producing milk to nourish their young. - This statement is also true. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - While both the assertion and the reason are true, we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - The fact that mammals are viviparous does not directly relate to the presence of milk-producing glands. Viviparity is about the mode of reproduction, while milk production is about nurturing the young. - Therefore, the reason does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both statements are true but the reason does not explain the assertion, the correct option 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.** ---
