The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason about pollination in wheat and sugarcane, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion - **Assertion**: "In wheat and sugarcane, pollination takes place by water." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. Wheat and sugarcane are primarily pollinated by wind (anemophily), not water. Water does not play a role in the transfer of pollen in these plants. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason - **Reason**: "Water is required for irrigation of wheat and sugarcane." - **Analysis**: This statement is partially true. While it is true that wheat and sugarcane require water for irrigation, this is not directly related to the process of pollination. The irrigation needs of these crops do not imply that water is involved in their pollination. ### Step 3: Determine the Truth Values - Both the assertion and the reason are false: - The assertion about water being the pollination agent is false. - The reason, while true in the context of irrigation, does not explain the assertion and is therefore misleading in this context. ### Step 4: Conclusion - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, the correct answer to the question is that both statements are incorrect. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and the reason are false. ---
