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 "Chlorophyll is soluble in ethyl ether and acetone." - Chlorophyll is indeed a pigment found in plants that plays a crucial role in photosynthesis. It is known to be insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like ethyl ether and acetone. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Ethyl ether and acetone are organic solvents." - This statement is correct. Ethyl ether and acetone are classified as organic solvents, which means they can dissolve certain organic compounds, including chlorophyll. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - The assertion is true because chlorophyll does dissolve in ethyl ether and acetone. - The reason is also true because both ethyl ether and acetone are indeed organic solvents. - Furthermore, the reason correctly explains why the assertion is true: chlorophyll's solubility in these solvents is due to their organic nature. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion, we can conclude that the first option is correct. ### Final Answer: - **Both Assertion and Reason are True and Reason is a Correct Explanation of Assertion.** ---
