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 "Migration is an important factor which determines both population size and population density." - **Population Size** refers to the total number of individuals in a population. - **Population Density** is the number of individuals per unit area or volume. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "In migration, a major part of the population goes from one area to another area." - This means that migration involves the movement of individuals from one location to another, which can affect both how many individuals are present in a given area (population size) and how crowded that area is (population density). 3. **Evaluating the Assertion and Reason**: - Both statements are true. Migration can indeed influence population size by increasing or decreasing the number of individuals in a specific area. It also affects population density as the movement of individuals alters how many are present in a given space. 4. **Determining the Relationship**: - The reason provided correctly explains the assertion. If a significant number of individuals migrate to or from an area, it will directly impact the population size and density in that area. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion, the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: The correct option is: **Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is a correct explanation of assertion.** ---
