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 "Graphite is an element." - Graphite is indeed a form of carbon, which is an element. Therefore, this assertion is true. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "An element is the pure form of a substance containing the same kind of atoms." - This definition is accurate. An element consists of only one type of atom, and thus it is a pure substance. 3. **Connecting Assertion and Reason**: - Since graphite is a pure form of carbon and contains only carbon atoms, it fits the definition of an element. - Therefore, the reason correctly explains why the assertion is true. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion. 5. **Final Answer**: - The correct option is that both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.
