The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that when the embryo sac develops from the megaspore mother cell, it is called diplospory. This is indeed correct. Diplospory refers to a type of asexual reproduction where the embryo sac develops directly from the megaspore mother cell without the typical meiotic process leading to the formation of multiple megaspores. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason provided states that in diplospory, two spores are formed. This is incorrect. In diplospory, typically, the embryo sac develops from a single megaspore mother cell, and it does not involve the formation of two separate spores. Instead, it leads to the formation of a single functional megaspore that develops into the embryo sac. 3. **Evaluating the Truth of Assertion and Reason**: - The assertion is true because it correctly describes diplospory. - The reason is false because it incorrectly states that two spores are formed in diplospory. 4. **Conclusion**: Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct option is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - Assertion: True - Reason: False
