The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion - The assertion states: "Bacteriophages are a type of bacteria." - Bacteriophages are actually viruses that specifically infect bacteria. They are not bacteria themselves. Therefore, this assertion is **false**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason - The reason states: "Bacteria are unicellular, eukaryotic organisms." - Bacteria are unicellular organisms, but they are classified as prokaryotic, not eukaryotic. Prokaryotes lack a defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Therefore, this reason is also **false**. ### Step 3: Conclusion - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, the correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. ### Final Answer - The correct option is: **Both assertion and reason are false.** ---
