The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Protandry is a condition in which anthers mature earlier than stigma." - This definition is correct. Protandry is indeed a phenomenon where the male reproductive organs (anthers) mature before the female reproductive organs (stigma), which helps in preventing self-pollination. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Cleistogamous flowers are bisexual and never open." - This statement is also correct. Cleistogamous flowers are indeed bisexual, meaning they have both male and female reproductive parts, and they do not open, which prevents cross-pollination. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - The assertion and reason are both true, but the reason does not explain the assertion. - Protandry is a mechanism to avoid self-pollination, while cleistogamous flowers facilitate self-pollination by remaining closed. Therefore, the reason provided does not serve as an explanation for the assertion. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion, the correct answer is: "Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion." ### Final Answer: - The correct option is: **Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is not a correct explanation of assertion.** ---
