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 "Progressive degeneration of skeletal muscle mostly due to genetic disorder, is muscular dystrophy." - This statement is true. Muscular dystrophy is indeed a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal muscles. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Rapid spasms in muscle due to low Ca^(++) in body fluid, is tetany." - This statement is also true. Tetany is a condition characterized by muscle spasms, which can occur due to low levels of calcium in the blood. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - The assertion and the reason are both true. However, we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - Muscular dystrophy and tetany are different conditions. Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder leading to muscle degeneration, while tetany is related to calcium levels affecting muscle contractions. Therefore, the reason does not explain the assertion. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion, the correct option is: "Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion." ### Final Answer: The correct option is: **Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.** ---
