### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: The assertion states that it is impossible to determine the exact position and exact momentum of an electron simultaneously. This aligns with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics. 2. **Defining the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle**: According to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, the more accurately we know the position of a particle (like an electron), the less accurately we can know its momentum, and vice versa. Mathematically, this is expressed as: \[ \Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{\hbar}{2} \] ...
