The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that Calotes, Crocodilus, and Chelone are members of Class Reptilia. - Reptilia is a class within the phylum Chordata, which includes all reptiles. - Calotes (a lizard), Crocodilus (crocodile), and Chelone (a turtle) are indeed classified under Reptilia. - Therefore, the assertion is **true**. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided states that the heart is three-chambered in Calotes, Crocodilus, and Chelone. - Calotes and Chelone do have three-chambered hearts, which is typical for many reptiles. - However, Crocodilus (crocodiles) is an exception as they possess a four-chambered heart. - Thus, the reason is **false** because it inaccurately describes the heart structure of Crocodilus. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer to the question is that the assertion is true but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - The assertion is true, and the reason is false.
