Assertion : In physics, we attempt to derive the properties of a bigger, more complex system from the properties and interaction of its constituent simpler parts.
Reason : This approach is called unification and is at the heart of physics.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The approach mentioned in the first statement is called reductionism. The attempt to explain diverse physical phenomena in terms of a few concepts and laws is unification.
