The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Species is a group of individuals with fundamental similarities." - This is a correct statement because a species is defined as a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring, sharing common characteristics. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason given is "Indica, leo, tuberosum represent such group of individuals." - Here, "Indica" refers to a species of mango (Mangifera indica), "leo" refers to the lion (Panthera leo), and "tuberosum" refers to the potato (Solanum tuberosum). - While these terms do represent specific species, the reason does not explain why the assertion is true. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - The assertion is true as it correctly describes what a species is. - The reason is also true as it provides examples of species, but it does not serve as a correct explanation for the assertion. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion, the correct answer is that both are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: The correct option is (B): Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. ---
