The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given question, we need to evaluate both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Evaluate the Assertion The assertion states: "Kinetin is found naturally in plants." - Kinetin is a synthetic cytokinin, which means it is not naturally occurring in plants. The natural forms of cytokinins found in plants include zeatin and others, but kinetin itself is not one of them. **Conclusion for Step 1**: The assertion is **false**. ### Step 2: Evaluate the Reason The reason states: "Cytokinin breaks seed and bud dormancy." - While cytokinins play a role in plant growth and development, the specific function of breaking seed and bud dormancy is primarily attributed to ethylene, not cytokinins. Ethylene is known as a ripening hormone and is responsible for breaking dormancy in seeds and buds. **Conclusion for Step 2**: The reason is also **false**. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Now, we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, the reason does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion. ### Final Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are false, and the reason does not explain the assertion. ---
