The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given assertion and reason, we can break down the information step by step: ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion - **Assertion**: Rotenone is a bioinsecticide. - **Explanation**: A bioinsecticide is a natural substance used to kill insects. Rotenone is derived from the roots of certain plants, particularly from the plant *Derris elliptica*. ### Step 2: Evaluate the Reason - **Reason**: Rotenone is obtained from living organisms and is employed to kill bacteria. - **Explanation**: While it is true that rotenone is obtained from living organisms (specifically plants), the claim that it is used to kill bacteria is incorrect. Rotenone primarily targets insects, not bacteria. ### Step 3: Determine the Truth Values - **Truth Value of Assertion**: True (Rotenone is indeed a bioinsecticide). - **Truth Value of Reason**: False (While it is derived from living organisms, it does not kill bacteria). ### Step 4: Conclusion - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer is that the assertion is correct, but the reason is not. ### Final Answer The assertion is true, and the reason is false.
