The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that muscles have special features such as excitability, conductivity, and contractility. - **Explanation**: - **Excitability**: This refers to the ability of muscle cells to respond to stimuli, particularly from the nervous system. - **Conductivity**: This is the ability of muscle cells to conduct electrical impulses. - **Contractility**: This is the ability of muscle cells to shorten and generate force. 2. **Evaluating the Reason**: - The reason states that neurons have similar characteristics that are also found in muscles. - **Explanation**: Neurons do have excitability and conductivity, but they do not have contractility in the same way that muscle cells do. Neurons transmit signals, while muscle cells contract. 3. **Determining the Truth of Assertion and Reason**: - The assertion is true because muscles do possess the mentioned features. - The reason is misleading because, while neurons share some characteristics with muscle cells (like excitability and conductivity), they do not share contractility. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true but the reason is false, the correct relationship is that the assertion is true, and the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - The assertion is true, and the reason is false.
