The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that "Cockroach has two pairs of legs and three pairs of wings." - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. A cockroach actually has three pairs of legs (totaling six legs) and two pairs of wings. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason states that "Legs are used to jump while wings are used to fly." - **Evaluation**: This statement is also incorrect. Cockroaches do not primarily use their legs to jump; they use them for walking and climbing. Additionally, while cockroaches can glide using their wings, they are not strong fliers. 3. **Conclusion on Assertion and Reason**: Since both the assertion and the reason are false, we need to determine the correct answer option based on this evaluation. 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - Option 1: Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. (Incorrect) - Option 2: Both assertion and reason are true. (Incorrect) - Option 3: Assertion statement is false. (Partially correct, but does not address the reason) - Option 4: Both assertion and reason are false. (Correct) 5. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is Option 4: Both assertion and reason are false.
